I don’t want to fall in love
I just want to grow in love
Growing in love is devoid of heartache, devoid of jealousy, devoid of all  nonsense that comes with falling in LOVE
I just want to walk in love
Babied in love, eat in love, sit and sleep in love and all nice things that comes with growing in love.
A growing love doesn’t fade
It doesn't rust but it lasts, it doesn’t die but lives.
A growing love dwarfs distances, it brings oceans together, it narrows the gap of differences and deepens the love.
A growing love has no boundaries of the worlds, rather it brings down the walls of the world.
A growing love wipes away the bitter tears of the past and gives hope for the future.
I just want to grow in in love, fertilized in love, cultivated in love, harvested in love and stored in love

Gabila!
Tell me where you from
‎انتي من وين؟
I’ll tell you انا من وين
I’m from a Gabila joining tribes
Yours and mine!
Gabila!
You heard of Sudan?
That’s our tribe!
That’s our Gabila!
That...is our home.

Kosti or Sennar
‎سودان جمعتنا as one
As a Gabila we stand!
But Gabila, how come I never heard of you?
‎انتي رباطابية ولا زغاوية؟
‎انتي هدندوية ولا من الدينكا؟
Where do you come from?

Does it matter though? Because,
Either way, I think you’re a beauty!
Either way, I admire your presence!
Either way...you look like a kandaka.
Are you a kandaka?
You are a kandaka!
I see a kandaka!
‎كنداكة سودانية
‎كنداكة شجاعة
‎كنداكة قبائلي
I’m glad I met you Gabila!

we sail  in  the  same ship, if  she  sinks....we sink  together....no "fixing"!
