Dear 2020, Poem by Uche Nwanze

Dear 2020,

Rating: 5.0


I have dreamt of you since I was a kid, was told so many nice things about you. I write you this letter, please wherever you are to come get me.
You will find me at the border of 2019 waiting to bury my anxious head on your bosom and give you a warm embrace I have been saving for you this past ten years.
I am carrying a bag of sweet bitter experiences on my shoulders. The weight on my shoulders I have borne for the past ten years. I have travelled and made so many acquaintances.2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016,2017,2018,2019 made an impression on me but I was told none of this old friends are as affectionate as you.

Albeit 2019 and I had our differences, she has been kind to me. I was told that you are a benevolent and magnanimous person.
I leave my old friend 2019 behind and all the memories so I may come to be with you. I hope they were not wrong about you.

I recall with nostalgia the beautiful moments I shared with 2019 but it's time I moved to another challenge. I hear 2020 is an exquisite city, filled with fun places like Prosperity Mall, Good Health Spa and Happiness park. My heart is racing like fast cars on a runway, I can't wait to be with you my new friend 2020.

When next you come across 2019 and his nine friends, tell them I will miss them. I appreciate all we had in the past but it's time I moved on.

Dear 2020, the clock ticks, hours turns to minutes, minutes to seconds. Come get me, I can't wait anymore.

Looking forward to seeing your pretty face.


Your new friend,



Uche
