Njabulo Madela Poet Lyric

When did I love you?

You ask me,
when did I love you?
I told you
I loved you at first sight.
Infatuation hit the bull’s-eye,
so I failed in the first fight.
With lots of Mandelas
I can buy you a safe site.
They didn’t believe it 
they’re still checking if we’re alright.
Nothing to comprehend,
it’s almighty.
On Valentine’s Day
we can dance the whole night.
Never let go,
just hold tight.


I love your sense of humor 
you’re my whole heart.
I’m standing on the balcony in the morning 
you’re that view.
They keep talking,
missing the point like untrained snipers.
They are blind,
with no point of view.

Beauty of the sunrise
on the balcony 
you are that view.
I love alphabet letters,
Mostly I and U.
Jay-Z and Beyoncé 
that could be me and you.
Read love in my eyes 
that is all true.


You asked me,
when did I love you?
I told you
I loved you at first sight.
You told me
to hold you tight.
I told you
I can do that all night.
We can have our meeting
in my bed the whole night.
No terms or regulations 
we can be the whole party.


They said
it’s just first stage of limerence.
But I couldn’t allow them
to finish that sentence.
Because I knew
it was fate dedication,
not just infatuation.


You asked me,
when did I love you?
I told you
I loved you at first sight.
You said love at first sight is for the weak.
I told you
I can love you the whole week.
For the matter of reasoning,
you are a force of nature in all seasons.
Your beauty is the combination of all stars.
I don’t get infected,
’cause your love heals all my scars.


You ask me,
when did I love you…
I told you
I loved you at first sight.
