ROMANCE: "EVERGREEN LOVE" BY MAURICE CHIADZWA

Dont just say evergreen soul

Give me an ever-young heart

Love me with an unchanging mind

...show me your evergreen love

Don't you ever lose that glow

You are the state of the art

Don't let that smile leg behind

...show me your evergreen love

Don't ever walk out of my heart's door

I don't want us to be apart

Whatever you wish for, I will find

...show me your evergreen love

I will love you forever more

I will love you no matter what

Until saints cease to be kind

...show me that evergreen love

So be an evergreen soul

Don't ever grow at heart

Keep me in your mind

...show me your evergreen love

...show me your evergreen love

The poet persona wants an everlasting love between he and his woman. The bard compares the kind of affection he wishes to a green leaf that would never fade away its colour. The poet persona does not want to ever fight with his woman.
