Njeri Hunjeri Poet Verse

My One and Only

If I was still a teenager , maybe a 16 year old
With my current mindset, of a mature woman
I would take the plunge
I would dare leave my all to be with you
I wouldn't care, I would just do
And wait to see where the whirlwind takes me, takes us

If I was still a teenager, which am way passed
I wouldn't mind if they laughed at us
I wouldn't mind if they talked about us
I wouldn't mind being called crazy
Coz atleast teenagers can be wild
They are known for their raging hormones
They do some expected, maybe allowed and maybe never envisioned stuff

I am no more a teenager, and I shall never be again
Not anymore.
I can only take it slow one baby step at a time
Coz my bag of responsibilities has grown bigger, and i care a lot more
