Soft

melodic

hums)

Oh,

Joe…

Remember 2002?

The

streetlights

of

Sandton,

The

way

the

world

was

waiting

for

us.

You

saw

me

passing

by

your

place

of

work,

That

spark

in

your

eyes,

you

couldn't

hold

it

back,

I

remember

the

day

our

hands

brushed

against

the

pavement,

Your

phone

hit

the

ground,

I

reached

down

to

help

you

pick

it

up,

That

was

the

moment,

the

start

of

everything

good,

I

didn't

know

then

that

you

were

the

one

I’

d

love.

I

had

to

let

you

go,

but

my

heart

stays

right

there,

Back

in

the

sunlight

of

a

life

we

used

to

share,

Joe,

you

were

my

soulmate,

my

Sunday

morning

grace,

I’

m

tracing

the

shadows

of

your

beautiful

face,

I

had

to

let

you

go,

but

I

still

feel

the

roses

you

brought,

I’

m

keeping

the

promise

of

everything

we

taught.

Then

came

that

Sunday,

the

silence

after

church,

My

phone

rang

out,

I

was

weary

from

the

search,

'Hey

Mpho,'

you

said,

and

your

voice

was

like

a

prayer,

It

healed

the

broken

pieces

that

were

scattered

everywhere,

I

was

so

unsure,

carrying

the

ghost

of

yesterday,

But

you

were

patient,

Joe,

you

washed

the

pain

away.

I

had

to

let

you

go,

but

my

heart

stays

right

there,

Back

in

the

sunlight

of

a

life

we

used

to

share,

Joe,

you

were

my

soulmate,

my

Sunday

morning

grace,

I’

m

tracing

the

shadows

of

your

beautiful

face,

I

had

to

let

you

go,

but

I

still

feel

the

roses

you

brought,

I’

m

keeping

the

promise

of

everything

we

taught.

Dinner

dates,

the

slow

drive

home

through

the

city

light,

We

were

soulmates

in

the

middle

of

a

velvet

night,

A

year

had

passed,

and

we

stood

before

the

world

to

say

'I

do',

How

did

we

drift

from

the

magic

that

we

once

knew?

I’

m

letting

you

go

to

find

your

peace,

my

love,

Watching

over

us

from

the

quiet

stars

above.

The

roses

are

dried

now,

pressed

between

the

pages

of

time,

But

the

melody

of

your

voice

is

still

a

perfect

rhyme,

I

thank

you

for

the

healing,

for

the

laughter

and

the

care,

For

being

the

man

who

caught

me

when

I

wasn't

even

there,

It’

s

time

to

release

the

grip,

it’

s

time

to

set

us

free,

But

a

piece

of

my

soul

will

always

belong

to

the

memory.

I

had

to

let

you

go,

but

my

heart

stays

right

there,

Back

in

the

sunlight

of

a

life

we

used

to

share,

Joe,

you

were

my

soulmate,

my

Sunday

morning

grace,

I’

m

tracing

the

shadows

of

your

beautiful

face,

I

had

to

let

you

go,

but

I

still

feel

the

roses

you

brought,

I’

m

keeping

the

promise

of

everything

we

taught.

Goodbye,

my

Joe.

Sandton

streets

will

always

remember.

I

had

to

let

you

go.

I

had

to

let

you

go. (
