Asanda Zininzi Vitshima

Asanda Zininzi Vitshima I want to wear a picture of you on my chest Not to tell the world that you were once mine But to see you whenever I look down and know that I have you and I will never fall I do not care if I meet a woman that might be my next Surely she will understand that, that is where my heart finds rest She will ask if she must or simply walk away There comes a time in one’s life That they must mind their own business And for me, it is what we created We loved each other until we started looking alike My home was yours and yours was mine We switched mothers and we laughed until we cried Any day was a holiday We travelled and danced even though we couldn’t Money, was never an issue You are always on my mind So many times we tried to mend it We tried to run from it Until you put it in a frame and I saw it hanging Our love on the wall, nothing to match it We just accept that this is it We will always be in each other’s absence
