The constant shock of realisation
Jaco Fourie 2005 (Gauteng)
To cover the face
Of insecurity and shame
A glance or a smile
Is all that it takes
tears rushing down as i think to myself
We probably won't.
i was just the 6 minute side character in your life which will depart from here and have a whole different view of what the worlds like, thats just how it is, the constent reminder of nothing stays the same, kind of ironic how we were talking about getting to know eachother, isn't it?
About this poem
It is about a young boy falling in love over text, he has this whole idea of how everything is going to be but then the realisation of loneliness kicks in
