"Secrets in the Distance"
Verse 1
We met back in primary days, sitting side by side in class
You stole my heart inside the classroom, my Noovii Mon, I knew it fast
We grew up side by side, but kept our love locked tight
A secret only stars could see, burning through the night
Years rolled like a river, life pulled us far apart
We said "I do" to others, but you still live in my heart
That photo on my wall—your arm around me close
Your beard soft against my cheek, my curls resting on your shoulder slow
From your home in Hela, where your Tukujawinii clan runs deep
I’m from Enga—you’re still the one my soul seeks to keep
Chorus
Miles stretch between us, from Enga to your Hela ground
Your voice through the phone line feels like where I am bound
Home’s not just a place—it’s the beat inside my chest
You’ve had my heart since we were kids, and there’s no way to rest
Our love’s a language words can’t find, a fire that won’t fade
Distance keeps us apart, but never makes us stray
Verse 2
I map Hela on my screen, trace lands I’ve never known
You tell me ‘bout the hills of your clan’s home, I tell you ‘bout my Enga sun
We laugh like we’re right there, shoulders brushing close
Every whisper through the wire feels like coming home
No one knows the story we’ve carried all these years
How you’re the one my soul still hears—how in that frame, we look like we’re right here
Proud of your Tukujawinii ways, how Hela and Enga hold every memory we share
Chorus
Our love’s a language words can’t find, a fire that won’t fade
Distance keeps us apart, but never makes us stray
Bridge
They say love should be out loud, but ours is deep and still
It holds me up through every day, gives me strength until
We can talk again at night, when the world has gone to sleep
I look at that photo—Noovii Mon from Hela, with your Tukujawinii heart so true
I’m from Enga—you’re the piece that makes me whole, the secret I’ll always keep
Final Chorus
Miles will always stretch between us, from Enga to your Hela ground
Your face on my screen (and in that shot) feels like solid ground
Home’s not just a place—it’s you inside my chest
Had your heart since we were kids, Noovii Mon, that’s all that matters best
Our love’s beyond what words can find, forever it will stay
Distance can’t touch what we have—nothing can take it away
