Fungayi Elias Ndhlovu Poet Alexandrine

Too Late To Miss You

Since I went away
I do not recall ever missing you
For all this long:
When I saw you today,
I know what I was craving for.

Every time I longed for touch,
Every time I yearned for kiss;
Each time I slept alone.
That's what I did for so long;
Each time I saw a beautiful woman
And she did not turn around
To see my pain smile.

Long lonely nights,
Fighting, staring at nothingness,
What could a pillow do?
My anguish was mine:
I had not been good for you,
Should I ever leave you again,
I swear I want to miss the sweetness you are.

Now that I am back,
Babe, lets make love
And let love make our lives,
The past will be a forgetting;
I love you and I know
Even more when it is too late to miss you.
