You Stay

Èkùrò là l’àbàkù Ewà

Some love vanishes when season shift,

But you—— you stay

Ìwò ni mo ri

When all I heard was silence,

But my spirit still reached for something holy.

In yoruba

They say,

‘Ekuro la l’ abaku Èwa—

b’ojò ń rò bòrún ñ ràn ‘

And it’s true.

You’re the timeless jewel

That weather cannot erase,

A smile that lingers where other fades

Your smile doesn’t shout

It arrives like memory ,

Like a prayer i once whispered and forgot.

A calm soul

Not just in sunshine,

But when everything falls apart

And if this fire is all I ever get right to rekindle.

Then I have lived well.

Because you—-

You are the flame that forgets how to die,

The stillness after the storm,

The soft forever.
