Vusi's POV
I was once lost,
frost, covering the eyes of my crooked lense.
Until a day, I met You.
You were beautiful
You were wonderful
You were Caucasian. You are Caucasian.
Annabelle Johnson.
I think of pretentious ways of telling this story of ours
Just like gorgeous flowers I think of
Especially when I think of You.
But, before you,
I had the need to be found.

She, the one who broke my heart, Just found her way and as we fell apart.
Amanda
Met her at a skating park in Cape Town
Fell in love instantly. Asked her out - she approved.
Riding down the those beautiful leftfield roads, so smooth
as we come across her house.
It was then I completely saw her, But then, I felt as if I could do better
Have better, be better
Three days later I broke up with her
Left her crying rainfalls of the summer,
As if the Jordan river went dry and she filled it up again
I left such a beautiful soul with so much pain
But I knew where was the gain
Show me Love
That thing they promise idiots on rom-coms
Let me wear it like a glove
Just like latex smothering my hands giving me warmth
Buy me a dove
Lets buy two tickets maybe and we can fly the fuck outta here
Show me Love
"I don't need no part time Love...
Got no room for one-night stands"
Just Show me Love
Michayla
The girl next door
Just moved in,
Just as I cared more
I fell in love instantly like the fool I am
She fell in love with Dante and that changed my plans
Hectic!
Muneera
She, the profound member of the school's SRC committee
With religious scarfs that hides her pretty
Pitty,
I feel for myself as I am the definition of stupidity
And like the other two above, I fell in love
And she didn't
Show me Love
That thing they promise idiot on rom-coms
Let me wear it like a glove
Just like latex smothering my hands giving me warmth
Buy me a dove
Lets buy two tickets maybe and we fly the fuck outta here
Show me Love
"I don't need no part time Love.
Got no room for one-night stands"
Just Show me Love
Cassandra
What really felt like a catch
Just fell through my hand and splaaat!
Like a free egg skydiving
I fell in love and she didn't
Oh such a sad, sad story
• • • •
Though as love felt like a joke
And waters now instead of drying out, they broke...
And the Earth clearly far away from hope
Just like light no longer shining through a globe
You showed up out of nowhere
And we exchanged stares
Wonderously I knew at some point, we'll be together
I was once lost,
frost, covering the eyes of my crooked lense.
Until a day, I met You.
You were beautiful
You were wonderful
You were Caucasian.
