DUET ON ROMANTICISM_ 'A KISS AT LAST' BY AJAKAYE AND ESSAMBEH.

AJAKAYE:

The rain is so sober,

the earth is weird like prophesied dreams,

I am feeling soaked in a full beach,

yet I have love to give,

I have a blanket to hold,

I have unfinished dreams to think on my bed.

ESSAMBEH:

Of true memories we cherished before,

a dance on the beach and all those lovely sandy shores,

alone with the birds and they songs they played,

into your arms I laid everyday,

alone with you love, the best moment I ever had,

a sweet balm on our lips,

the best kiss I ever had.

AJAKAYE:

These moments can last the whole world, 

eve after us,

writing invaluable stories in our diaries, journals, emotions,

maybe after the hot tea meets us

under the shade of fulfilled smiles,

wrapping each other like pendant and necklace.

These moments are the best under the rain,

these, these moments I feel again.

ESSAMBEH:

I feel again when I still look into your eyes,

I feel again despite how many times we fight,

I feel again even when you're not around me,

these memories I'll always live to forever cherish.

AJAKAYE:

No better memories than our natural tea during rainfall,

Esssambeh Ebai... if men are trees,

your tree I will call the Birches,

your eyes I will gaze upon till tomorrow never comes,

the rain is more beautiful than it looks

everytime I mention just your name.

I love being caught under the shell of your arms.

ESSSAMBEH:

Your words Ajakaye still leave me in awe,

hearing its sweet melody

makes me finally understand what it means to truly be in love,

no better memories than our natural tea during rainfall,

eternal moments when I hear your heart call. 

An endless rhythm of love and peace it always plays, 

an eternal abode where I'll always love to really stay.
