On her current playlist #TheEx. Sthandwa Sam means "My beloved" Uthando meaning love
These gels, these gels, these gels I tells ya.
She threw something special away that we had together when I was a broke and struggling Freshman in colle.
I remember getting lost with her in the French Quarter in New Orleans in the soft pattering rain. Sitting on a small street-side bench getting our pictures sketched on Royale St by this very talented artist. By the way I wonder where those portraits went. Her in my cozy arms as Bourbon st Jazz wafted from Preservation Hall nearby
That new year's midnight kiss we shared under the stars and exploding French Quarter fireworks was unforgettable
Amazing times.
Spring break road trips with mutual friends who are now scattered all over the world. Some now dead. Echoes of the laughter of our youth during those trips still with me. Perfect match we were.
I remember the day we went to the Levert Father and Son tour concert. Danced away the night together. How can anyone forget such? But believe it or not,
She threw it all away, blo, yes she did Oooo yess she did!!.I wasn't perfect but neither was she.
When she went back to her crumbling Cincinnati comedy of a town we were still good.
Until the shocking cold, curt breakup over the phone came.
No reason, no explanation, nada!
The worst breakups are those where no reason whatsoever is given. Leaving you hanging in the wind!
Kumbe she had met a sorry Akataa of a man. Perhaps thinking she could get makaratasis through him. In no time I heard she had a baby by him.
Yet shortly after he dumped her like used TP.
Huyoooo. Back to Mzansi she went after graduation with her illegitimate child that he wanted no parts of. With her F-1 visa expired. All her nascent USA dreams shattered. Meanwhile I leveled up. By grad school graduation I was on my way. Half a decade later I was beyond where I wanted to be. Pretty as the ex was, the sizzling hot wifey I picked up along the way made her look like a dishrag. And came with no bizarre, fickle msukosukos --one day going West, the other day East with no msimamo -- to boot! Another decade later there she was .."adding" me on social media after ages bila any contact whatsoever
Quiet as a church mouse, no profile pic, but occasionally "liking" a post or two. Mostly about the pics of my smiling, happy family.
The family her and I could have made together. Regrets galore for her.
Isapite!!
Now she's posting songs like these.
Knowing I know that she's talking about me in her usual cryptic style -- which is her nous -- because I know her inside out!!
Too bad for her! Cry me a river! Live with your life choices!! Lia machozi mpaka ijaze ndoo!!
But I thank her for opening me up to a whole new world of a country I had little to know knowledge about beyond the basics- SA.
These ngels these ngels these ngels I tells ya.
The day you find a good, rational, loyal, stable one to wife... Be thankful to God!! They are as rare as hen's teeth!
Hao wengine single mamas who wasted their youth and choices chasing the wind wameze wembe!!
Ni hayo tuu
