Dear 2018, Poem by Uche Nwanze

Cross Over County.

31st December,2018.

Dear 2018,

I am writing you this letter with mixed feelings. In a couple of hours we will be parting ways for good. I have booked my flight on Boeing 31-12-2018 and my destination is 01-01-2019.
I enjoyed my short stay with you. It was fun while our friendship lasted. We had our disagreements and fights but we made up and our bond became stronger. I cherish the good times we shared together.

I wish to inform you that I found a new friend, in a far away country. Her name is 2019, she is a very promising lass. I am not really saying farewell or goodbyes because it hurts but I have to go. I have to explore a new world, a new challenge, break new grounds. I know you want the best for me.

We may not cross paths ever again but the sweet memories of you will remain indelible in my heart. I will send you a post card as soon as I touch down at my destination.

I can't wait to be in the arms of my new friend,2019. I heard so much about her. She promised to take me to new and giant heights. Please take care of the luggage and baggage of sorrow, disappointment, adversity, malady, stagnation I left behind. I have been told that I will be given a new package that contains Success, Victory, Promotion, Surplus, joy on my arrival at my new destination.

Farewell my dear friend,2018.

Loads of love,

Your friend
