Faith
It's bee a few weeks since Tinashes death and within them few weeks I've cried , slept , cried , cried ,plan her funeral which is Today and did I mentioned I cried and Isaiah joined me .
During my days of crying Elijah has been their through every step . Most people would tell you " wipe your tears wouldn't want to see you like this " or " grow up it's fine " Elijah was the complete opposite he just let me cried and comfort me through my hard times .
A few hours ago I sent Elijah home so he can get ready and so can I aswell .
As I'm doing my makeup I reread my eulogy . As I'm reading it I feel a tear slips down my cheek . All the memories are just rushing through my head .
I quickly wipe my tears away and continued to get ready .
We are a the Church where the Funeral is being held . As we walk in I see Tinashes casket opened . As I see Tinashe in a state I could never imagine I just began to sob . My best friend is gone . She's gone , the person who has been through my rough , joyful times is gone .
I just run out the Church due to all the pressure and emotions . As I'm sitting in the car , I hear screaming , it sound like Isaiah . He was saying " Give me a minute to hold my girl " .
The amount of pain Isaiah must be feeling just makes me feel hurt for him . The other day he told me he would never love or be with anyone ever again after Tinashe and when I asked about kids he said he will adopt. One thing about Isaiah is that it's very hard to break his heart but it's now been shattered into a million pieces because of Tinashes death .

As I'm just thinking I see Elijah coming to the window . As I roll down the window he tell me it's time for my speech .
I just take a deep breath .
As I leave the car and lock it I ask Elijah if he would be with me ,he gladly agreed .
I am right now standing on the podium I began to speak .
Did I mention I have never given a eulogy before .
" I don't even know where to begin . Well I best of start saying thank you all for coming to celebrate the life of Tinashe Ncube . My name is Faith Moyo , best friend of Tinashes Ncube . Tinashe we met in year 2 and when you walked through them doors I saw you , my best friend but we weren't best friends we were mostly enemies but quickly turned into best friends when we got paired together.

" The pairs for the projects are Faith and Tinashe " our Teacher said while looking at us
" Im not working with her " Tinashe said
." Same " I said crossing my arms
The teacher kept ignoring us and reading out our names . After a few minutes me and Tinashe finally got to talk about our project .
" What country are your family from ?" She asked
" Zimbabwe , what about you ?" I asked
" I'm Zimbabwean too " he said with a big smile on her face , causing me to squeal .
" We should do our project of Zimbabwean food , we can ask our mum's for help ." She said
" We should do it at my place , I've got lots of colours" I said
"Sure " Tinashe said
End of flashback
On that very day I found my best friend ,
. On the very day I found you Tinashe and on that very day I found out we both love Ammara Brown and her song Akiliz.
Flashback
Give-I give
Give-I give, I'm a giver
Anything you ask I deliver
Bending backwards, building your dreams
Hoping that you would love me it seems
Chinzwa, Chinzwa

Dance boy, am I a dance boy?
Is this a fake romance boy?
Bank boy, am I a bank boy?
Am I your ATM, boy?
"Love this song " Tinashe said dancing
" Same bestie " I said
Dance boy, am I a dance boy?
Is this a fake romance boy?
Am I your ATM?
I simply can't understand!
Akiliz, why you killing me
Why you killing me yoooo-wo-wo-wo
Akiliz, why you using me
Why you using me yoooo-wo-wo-wo
You seduce me with your body
Then you take, you take my money
You seduce me with your body
Then you take, you take my money
Akiliz, why you killing me
As the song just continues to play me and Tinashe just kept dancing like there is no tomorrow .
