I remember the days

Zanele Thandeka Hlophe 1998 (Mpola Pinetown)



I remember the days
When the night was quite
When i could hear the sound of birds
See the beauty of galaxies in the sky.
When life use to be easy.

I remember the days
When the morning use to shine my face
When i had courage to wake up
To see the beauty of the day
When the world was at it most beauty.

I remember the days
When your love was the feeling i live for.
When my soul was glued to yours.
Penetrating like the sun in the dark forest
When everything seemed shining.

I remember the days
We use to cuddle nightlong
When the world did not matter
What mattered was our glorious love
When we embraced our true love.

I remember the days
When i used to dream about you
When i hold on to the thought of you.
Indeed memories never fade
It is the love that only fades.

Z.T Hlophe
