To the one who got away

It has been over 10 years since you departed

I constantly find myself Googling your name,

or searching for it on Facebook, and twitter

hoping to find some marks or traces  of your existence

How silly of me, Technology was not part of our times

Sometimes I dream of the hilarious things we’ve done growing up,

All the mischief, and crazy things we’ve done together

Not forgetting the punishments we took when we got caught

Memories of my youth, are intertwined with memories of you
I see your face , on the many a stranger

You were more of a brother than a friend to me.

Taking one for the team was your character trait

Even with all our fights, you were always the better man

With you around, I had courage, and strength

I remember you. My friend. My Brother. My Protector

You only really die once all traces of your existence has been wiped away

I guess you still alive, and I will keep your memories for a lifetime

Cyprian Muntuza Luvuno

Hope you found peace, in the afterlife.

You were gone too soon

They say the good die young, and young you went

Growing up with you, was an honour to me

You most definitely had my back.

And you had the scares to show it

Till we meet again, my brother
