What can I offer her

Desmond muzite 2002 (Rusape)



What can I offer her?
I asked myself again and again
A heart full of love, a soul full of care
But still, she refused to let me in

I thought I had everything to give
But maybe it wasn't enough
She needed something more to live
A different kind of love

I tried to change, to fit her mold
But it wasn't who I was
I lost myself, my heart grew cold
And still, she didn't budge

It took me time to realize
That love is not a trade
It's not about what you can provide
But how you make her feel, the memories you've made

So now I offer her my friendship
No strings attached, no expectations
Just a bond that will never end
And the love that comes with appreciation

I hope one day she'll see
That I was always here
And that the love I had for her
Was always sincere.
