(Soft piano melody fades in)
(Whispered) Temitope...
My heartbeat, my everything.
Olumide is calling out to you.
The sun is setting on our garden path
I’m counting all the shadows of my past
I never meant to bring a single tear
To eyes that shine so bright when I am near
I know the words I spoke were far too cold
A heavy story that shouldn't have been told
My pride stood up and blocked the light of day
But now I’m kneeling here to find a way.
Temitope, my queen, my home, my life
I’m hurting deeply just to see you strife
Forgive me darling, let the anger fade
I love you more than any mistake I made
Olumide is waiting at your door
I’m yours forever, now and evermore
My Temitope, please hear my humble plea
Come back to where you truly belong with me.
I miss the way you laugh at silly things
I miss the peace that your soft presence brings
The house is hollow when you’re not around
I search for silence but it’s just a sound
I know I failed you, broke the sacred trust
I let our golden promises turn to dust
But I am changing, learning how to grow
Into the man that you deserve to know.
Temitope, my queen, my home, my life
I’m hurting deeply just to see you strife
Forgive me darling, let the anger fade
I love you more than any mistake I made
Olumide is waiting at your door
I’m yours forever, now and evermore
My Temitope, please hear my humble plea
Come back to where you truly belong with me.
It’s not just sorry, it’s a soul laid bare
I’m breathing in the weight of all this prayer
Take my hand and let the past release
Let’s find the rhythm of our inner peace
I’m listening for the beat of your sweet heart
Let’s make a finish, not another start.
Temitope, my queen, my home, my life
I’m hurting deeply just to see you strife
Forgive me darling, let the anger fade
I love you more than any mistake I made
Olumide is waiting at your door
I’m yours forever, now and evermore
My Temitope, please hear my humble plea
Come back to where you truly belong with me.
Just come back home, Temitope.
Olumide is waiting...
I love you.
