Njeri Hunjeri Poet Lyric

We Loved the Same Man

You loved him.....darling
I loved him.....sweetheart 
Like the fading old polish.....he disappeared 
Like the temporary short dream.....he vanished

You loved him.....darling
I loved him.....sweetheart 
Remnants of that heartbeat.....still pumps in our lives 
Traces of his memory.....is still a carefree beast in our lives

You loved him.....darling
I loved him.....sweetheart 
He thatched a hut.....without hearts
Then he lit fire on it.....and forever it lit

You loved him.....darling
I loved him.....sweetheart 
The blazing pain of deception.....the tingling smears of rejection 
We loved him more.....he loved us less
