Dear Rosemary Poem by Thembekile Ntshangase

Dear Rosemary,

I long for you during these summer days.
It's the good times we had during the lovely summer days that makes
My heart yearns for your love.
It ain't easy without you babe,
I need you now and really miss the good times we shared together.
The hollowness in my soul grows day by day,
The thought of never seeing you again eats me up,
Can't even sleep at night.
Oh! Yes you were my darling, the closest friend I ever had.
Now I see that my life is hopeless without you.
Now I see how much you meant to me.
My wish is one, that perhaps one day somehow,
We will find a way to each other again.
Yeah! I still love you more than you know,
Still feel that you're the one for me, I hope you know that.
I'm trying so hard not to miss you,
You're always on my mind, yes that's true.
All I ever want is to feel your warmth once more.
You and I were always meant to be
Though life is unfair, look now we're apart.
More than anything I need your love to mend my broken heart
From all the injustice of this world of shame.
I could take a million years to express my love for you.

It's okay I know we will find a way to each other,
No more sorrow, no more tears in your eyes,
Here I foresee a new world of love, peace, joy and freedom
Where we will live happily ever after,
This unbreakable bond between us shall make us one.
Imagine our kids playing and shouting in the back yard,
I can see us holding hands walking along the seashore
Chatting and laughing together.
Depression and despair will be gone forever,
You and I will be together till death tear us apart.
