Matric Reunion

Thabang WaJesu

Can't decide which one it is

Whether - fear or excitement,

Or even a slight bit of shame.

A whirlwind of emotion.

Something nice happened today.   I was added to a Whatsapp group for our matric class' 8 year reunion.

These people lay special in my heart.

That class, those memories, so special!

Best times of my life.

So I don't really know how I feel.

I've changed so much.

People feel the need to SHOW UP for these things.

Best foot forward.

I'm overcome by emotion.

I just look forward to seeing them, stroking their faces, enjoying their company, to be there - here, to hear their laughter, and to celebrate Khotso's life, and Boy's.

 And cry.

And truly cry at the passing of time.
