Richard Nnoli Poet Romanticism

I Don'T Think You Know

I don't think you know 
How much I love you 
Despite am not perfect 
Am who I am 
I thought you knew from the beginning
That I can't fellow the trends 
I can't be a sheep 
I can't just go with the crowd
I am not how you want me to be now 
I can't give all my time to you 
I have a universal calling
And this destiny I know I don't chose it 
But I cant run away from myself 
I thought you knew from the beginning
Why you acting like am a stranger now
I hope you could feel how much I love you cos
I don't think you know

All I need is your heart 
All I ask is your love 
All I want you to be 
Is just to be happy with me 


I don't think you know
Am out there working
I got no choice to escape capitalism
The rain rains down water not money 
And manner don't fall from the sky no more
So why do you fight me for spending
My time to work 
I thought you should understand
I thought you saw the bills 
It not easy out there 
Yet am doing my best
If I give you all the time you need 
Baby for real I will be poor 
And am sure you will not love me 
In that state of mind 
Sometimes love is not enough
For survival expecially in this era 
I don't think you know


All I need is your heart 
All I ask is your love 
All I want you to be 
Is just to be happy with me
