Ah... I remember that evening, yes, a Saturday evening,
After the rain embraced the dry earth,
Leaving behind the dampness of sweet memories.
I was at church, waiting for the youth Christmas to begin, that evening.

We hadn't met yet—where were you sitting?
What time did you arrive, that evening?
Did you come? Were you late? Or did you fall asleep?
I spent my time enjoying the moment, waiting for you at church.

For a brief moment, both you and I, we were just waiting,
Waiting to arrive, to greet, to talk, to smile, to gaze, to admire.
Hey, Defta? What are you thinking about now?
Am I there in your thoughts? If I am, call out my name in your mind.

The crowd at the end of the story led me to welcome you.
You walked toward me, with that sweet smile, those beautiful eyes—it was you!
I remember, you wore blue with a touch of white.
Maybe I’m wrong, but you were truly dazzling that night, honestly!

I saw you, walking so gracefully with your lovely smile.
I followed, admiring you in my heart, "God, this is so beautiful."
I wanted to come closer, but I was too shy, so I kept my distance to feel at ease.
You should know, you made me follow you—almost five meters behind.

I have found Deogifta—God’s Gift.
