I Hope You Will Understand Poem by Nomthi Lusiti

We made a great pair, close to destinies
Love was good and life was great
Only our timing was wrong
You were the best thing that happened to me
But the circumstances were beyond both our controls.

I had to save both of us from the unforeseen misery and pain,
Leaving you was never a cup of tea for me either,
Your evening calls were the worst torture for me
You probably know how much I love you
But sometimes in love sacrifices ought to be made.

I know what you went through for this,
Cause I went through the same
I cried every night cursing myself for this pain
Even during the days I felt lonely
All I just hope for is for you to understand why I did it.

I was happy for you when I heard you had moved on
I tried to do the same, but never succeeded
I messed up every relationship I tried,
Living broken hearts and insensible breakups
In the process, and mine was torn even more.

In every relationship I got involved
I was only there to find you
And yet only to realise that
You were irreplaceable
Cause you are unique, and only you can be you.

But hope when time is right all will be fine
And you will find some courage in you
To forgive and understand that we had to go through
What we went through, not for deception
But for the sake of love and love only.......
