Hey Poem by Emmanuel Arunee Mwanza

Hey …..
Hey…that is me trying to call you
As you walk away…
you turn and look at me
and
you say
Hey…
is it me you want to talk to?
Then, as crazy as I am I just say …hey
Eish…embarrassing it is because…
I keep saying hey... as you go
I got something to say

As frozen water of the Antarctica I stand
With my fingers in the mouth…am thinking…hey
That is where I want to start from
Hey, don't despise me…because I can't talk
Your beauty arrests me
It's not that I got nothing to say
I have everything to tell…
But it's your shiny face that makes me speechless
As frozen as the waters… I can't move
And it's when you say ….hey

Like a dream …you come
Touching my frozen arm I am relieved
….that's when I hear you say, ' hey'
I know am alright…because your beautiful face comes with a warm smile
Am no longer frozen but I feel like chosen
Am so happy I feel like the best
Selected among the rest
And as for you
Among the many girls you stand
You are unique
And that uniqueness has made me not speak
You just make me say …hey

Hey… hey…
Please gal don't turn and look because it's not me calling
Just watch and smile...that's men trying to get you
To them love is just a say
Babes you are such a gal who smiles in a way
So beautiful you are…and don't get marveled
…..it is you who make people say hey

Guy after guy wants to talk to you
A honorably woman you are
And you would treat them with respect
Willing just to get closer guys get
But tell them…I answered, because I respect you...
Leave me alone..to them it will portray



Ring ring…that goes your phone
Am the person on the other side of it
Phoning to say…'hey'
Yes…day and night…I try to phone
It's the way to assurance ….
Coz when you answer…hey
Am so assured my girl is alright
So always pick up the phone and talk to me
You made me say hey and you have made me get so attracted to you more…hey
