From the Other Side
it feels like recently
when you typed my name
our names
on a piece of paper
in our computer class that day
in Nairobi
it feels so close... learning ms word, ms excel etc
newbies to computers
yet we just focused on ourselves
lovers in the class
dreamers of love
our love
That day the weather was hot
the streets were busy
we run holding hands
free
laughing
had some chips and sausage
you had coke, i had fanta
and we explored further
Uhuru park was like our home
we loved that park
we always went there after our class
a freedom park
and truly the love was freely felt when there
we talked for hours
we planned our futures
we agreed to meet again
to be together again
it was a hard day
to say goodbye
you were going for further studies
and i was staying behind
we watched the piece of paper with our names on it
as it flew up the air
hoping
dreaming
i miss you so much
Thank you Hello by Adele. Tears....memories...more tears...
