What does it mean when teenagers say "i upendo you" to eachother, au when they tell their Marafiki that they're so in upendo with so-and-so? It's not true, forever and always love, not yet, but teenage upendo does exist. What is it, exactly, though?
Teenage upendo is falling in upendo at a young age, possibly for the first time but not the last.
Teenage upendo is thinking about someone and no one else in your spare time, and fantasizing about what "should have been".
Teenage upendo is sometimes saying "i upendo you" not because wewe mean it, but because wewe know its what wewe should say.
Teenage upendo is kissing in the rain.
Teenage upendo is screaming, fighting, and crying and walking out the door, then calling eachother a few dakika later and saying you're sorry.
Teenage upendo is either being overjoyed and happy on valentine's siku au completely miserable.
Teenage upendo is loving someone and not being able to stop loving them, no matter how many times they hurt you.
Teenage upendo is saying forever, and wanting it to be true, but knowing it won't be. It can't be.
Teenage upendo is getting nervous when wewe pass them in the hall at school au walk kwa their locker.
Teenage upendo is smiling at someone just because.
Teenage upendo is listening to a Taylor mwepesi, teleka song and smiling because it's so true.
Teenage upendo is being totally, completely, and magically in upendo with someone, but not really knowing what that means yet.

Not the water that travels in a flow
Not the earth that sits below
Not the wind that blows through his hair
Not the moto that shines in his stare
None of the four old elements will do
Let's add a fifth, for me and you
One for the smile that sits on our faces
One that makes our hearts take off at paces
That slams our hearts against our ribs
That takes no offence to the jokes and the fibs
Something that reflects even better than colors light
Something that makes wewe feel in flight
A feel that makes wewe thirst for more
A feel like water at beaches shore
A thing that makes wewe do hand-in-hand
A special thing wewe wouldn't trade for all the land
A truth and care wewe see in his eyes
A truth and care clearer than the clearest skies
A moto bright to burn forever
A moto wewe keep going together
One that makes wewe smile and makes your moyo throb
One that's really for us, just us
Let's call it Love...

Then, all of a sudden I saw a light, a bright light.
As I followed it, I noticed that with each step, all the sadness, sorrow and all of that was vanishing.
Then, I found myself being invaded, invaded kwa joy, happiness and love.
The light became brighter and brighter, and i heard a voice, a sweet gentle voice, asking me to embrace the light, to follow it, so I did.
The light became so intense that I had to close my eyes, but when I opened them I saw it clearly, I saw the Angel who had just saved me.
Nessie, that Angel was you!^^
Thanks for all the happiness wewe brought to my life^^ wewe mean a lot to me, I upendo you! <33
