My Yesterdays.... Poem by Langelihle Maphumulo

My yesterdays seem not so far away...
A place somewhere in me where there is YOU, Where there is US and everything we believed in.
For a moment i stop stepping, turn around and look back,
One moretime i visualise and fly away to where forever once lived,
My yesterdays....
A place of love, laughter and precious dreams,
Where Innocence blessed us with such tranquility, Our hearts were free from uncertainties
Of tomorrow.
Eachday was miraculous,
a beauteous dream....
And now that i am here, all alone facing the world on my own, Expected to be strong like a man should be, bite my lip, Keep on stepping through this pain and pretend it doesn't hurt
when i glance back at my yesterdays...
i held you close in my arms then,
Drifted away to a fools' paradise and hanged on to every sweet word you said.
You spoke of love,
You were love that built this strong, brave, mature, loving and responsible man that i have now become,
A place called my yesterdays...
One moretime i will look back with a smile,
Raise my hand and wave Goodbye, bite my lip and be strong like a man should be,
Hold back the tears and step through this pain,
i will make my way towards the bleak tomorrow and hope memories will fade in time...
