OFA - “you are enough”

I hear a still small voice

Somewhere in my head.

I feel him inside me

Speaking to my self.

The words he echo

Are just and true

Surprising to me;

Its all about you,

Ofa.

He keeps flashing

Your image on my brain

As if I am riding

On a Chinese love train.

He keeps playing

Your voice in my ears

As if I’ve known you

For many years.

Ofa.

He keeps stressing;

I need to tie the knot with you

When all I wanted

Was to stay around and work with you.

He seem to know me

More than I know myself.

I think he got me;

I was keeping the feeling to myself.

Ofa.

But you have another,

And I have another.

You can’t leave neither;

I can’t keep either.

So I’ll convince my inner Him

That I can’t reach the brim.

And even though I heart you,

I’ve got to let you be.

Ofa.

OFA is a Ga word which literary means “you are enough”.
