I clearly understand
the reason why u are leaving
but that doesn't make it
any easier to bare

i cant wipe the last tear
from my eyes because
am yet to see the first
perhaps its the magnified pain

you will never fully understand
how deeply my heart feels for you
i worry that as you go
we will grow apart
and ill end up losing you

when i think of how an
African woman should be
its you that i first think of
my friend
perhaps its because you are beautiful
young and match mature

my text is poorly punctuated
it has no commas full stops
no brackets
and thats how av learned
to think about u
that is with no pause
just imagine when u will be gone
