Oh Ogechi

Verse

First time I saw you in the house of prayer

Sunday light resting on your hair

We didn’t talk, just walked on by

Two quiet souls, just you and I

Verse

Didn’t know then what fate would start

Didn’t know you’d capture my heart

Then one day you spoke my tongue

Sweet home words from where I’m from

I smiled and said, “Who spoke that?

Are you from Nsukka? Imagine that.”

You laughed and said, “Yes, I am.”

That was the spark, that was the plan

From that moment we became friends

A simple hello that would never end

Verse

Got your number, called you up

Asked you out, just us

We walked and talked along the way

Laughing like kids that day

Chorus

Oh Ogechi, you don’t even know

How much I cherish what we used to hold

From church pews to rainy nights

From shy hellos to city lights

Even if we’re far apart

You still have a space in my heart

And I just want you to see

How much you’ll always mean to me

Verse

We went to the mall, just having fun

Didn’t know the storm would come

Rain poured heavy through the night

Soaked our clothes under streetlight

From where we stood till we ran down

Water falling all around

You were cold, shivering tight

Holding me with all your might

I wrapped you close, you held me near

Two wet hearts with nothing to fear

Called my friend to come around

He pulled up and we left that ground

Verse

Took you home, you changed your clothes

I said, “Come with me,” soft and slow

At first you said you weren’t so sure

Then you smiled… and said, “Okay, let’s go.”

Chorus

Oh Ogechi, you don’t even know

How much I treasure the love we showed

From midnight talks to quiet sighs

From gentle touch to deep eye contact

Even if we’re not the same

Even if life has changed our lane

You still have a space in my heart

And that space will never depart

Bridge

What we shared, I appreciate

Every memory, every date

As our birthdays passed, blessings grew

Good things started coming through

Now there’s distance in our way

But my love won’t fade away

No matter where this life may start

Ogechi… you live inside my heart

Outro

We may not be what we were before

But I’m grateful for you, that’s for sure

Thankful for the woman you are

My once close wish, my distant star.
