WISH I KNEW

If you had told me earlier that you were a preacher I would have understood Coz I know only preachers have enough love to go round for their congregation If you had told me you were a drug before I let you hold me Then it would explain how addicted to you every skirt is If only I knew you were a shopkeeper It would explain why they talk about your shop being their favorite I wish you told me that you own a jewelry store At least it would have shed some light on why there are scores of ladies outside anxious to get their hands on a piece of their best friend Why the hell didn’t you tell me you were a doctor? See it would help me understand the calls you receive in the dead of the night And your response “feeling much better” right before you hang up If I knew your motto was ‘’utumishi kwa wote” Then I would not question you as to why you escort them to their homes I f only I knew you were dermatologist Then I could not be wondering why they keep asking you whether their skin is fair or not How I wish I knew ©Nana.
