I'm torn between much zaidi than two lovers
I'm torn between two different ways of life.
One showed me what it was like to upendo another.
The other? What it feels like to fly.
My first upendo gave me a salama haven,
a quiet place to hide when I was scared.
Everything in life revolved around him.
I knew that other loves could not compare.
I never thought that I could upendo another,
no one could ever tempt me to stray.
Then one siku my eyes were opened to him
and I knew our upendo could never be the same.
It was in this time that my moyo found another
and so much zaidi than the first he makes me smile.
I can't imagine a siku without him kwa my side.
He's shown me that my life is worthwhile.
He's helped me find the strength I didn't know I had.
He's made me embrace my inner me.
My first upendo made me hide deep inside myself.
My sekunde has shown me how to be free.
If I embrace a life with the first, it'll be so easy.
I won't ever have to challenge myself.
I can stay unscathed on the pedastool he puts me on
but all the while I'll wish he was someone else.
A life with the sekunde would never be boring.
We'd fuss and fight and argue our way through our days.
He pushes me and never lets me settle.
He makes me feel too much and I'm afraid.
Two different men, two different ways of living.
Both upendo me in ways I had always hoped for.
Should I choose safety and the man that holds me down?
Should I follow my moyo to the man that lets me soar?
I know there really is no choice to make
between a simple upendo and a upendo that makes me whole.
My first upendo touched my moyo and probably always will.
My sekunde is the one that touches my soul.
