I think about promises.
The promises I made you,
The promises you made me.
I wonder…
If I count the number of times,
We used the words “forever” and “always”,
Would they add up to the number of times,
I picked up my phone to talk to you today
But never dialed your number?
Perhaps…
You were never really mine,
I was never really yours.
There was no always,
There was no forever.
Perhaps those promises were just dreams,
Dreamt by two naive kids.
And… Perhaps the sound of the silence between us,
Is the sound of the alarm clock waking us up.
I wonder…

For some people, especially those with vivid imaginations, it is difficult to express themselves conventionally. There’s simply too much to say, too many ways in which to describe a single item, too many colors, too many sounds. For those people, there is poetry. | Born, raised and living in Africa. | Art lover (In all it's forms) | Hopeless romantic. | Believes in making the world a better place; one thought, one word, one action at a time.
Ndapewoshali is an accountant and Namibian labour law specialist by profession, a self-taught graphic designer and avid community activist. She uses writing to tackle (sometimes uncomfortable) social issues with the hope of transforming the Namibian and the global community’s mindset on the current status quo. Ndapewoshali believes that love, as a verb (through kindness, patience, common understanding and tolerance), consistent education and reform, are the answers for all social, economic and political ills. She is also a strong advocate for mental health awareness and the importance of creating a safe environment in which mental health is prioritized and mental illness is destigmatized. Ndapewoshali is an art-loving (in all its forms), hopeless romantic who believes in making the world a better place; one thought, one word, one action at a time.
