First love

Long time ago, in an impressionable age

A baby imprinted me with her sweet face

Our first love bridged the gap of ten years

holding hands amidst laughter and tears.

 

We grew, we grew and we grew

Till Banka gave me wings and I flew

Leaving behind my sister alone to face

A betrayal in an impressionable age.

 

We grew, we grew and we grew

Till U.S gave her wings and she flew

Hormones, and an instinct to rebel

Confused, I bid her a mental farewell.

 

We grew, we grew and we grew

 seasoned well in life’s quirky stew

many came and brought their colors

But Ayesha’s essence stayed  forever.
