Just Behind

To the world far ahead, where 
you run to,
From the world behind you,
When you rarely expect,
Love is breeding.

The steps you take secretly,
When you secretly admire me,
I hear the whisper of your 
emotions,
And I feel you calling quietly.

"Muthokaaa... my beloved,
So badly I want you,
But am afraid to say,
I love you my Muthoka."

You are just behind me,
In my small things you are 
interested,
I don't know, but you are in 
love. 
Your heart pumps lovely.

"Lovlavla... vlavlavlav,
Then ahead you go pretending 
there is no love for me,
Then wherever you go I follow, 
Just behind the wall.
