The one that got away by Lindelwa Tshabalala (Lee Egan)
It began with a simple question I had, does true love exists? At all!
Since my boyfriend and I got serious I kept questioning if there is true love. Maybe there was love back in 2012 when my Granma was a teenager. But now it 2047 everything had changed. Take for instance I
live in a place which is a ‘farm’. Having a farm this days is having a space of a school yard.
The population is really too much.
. It all about artificials. The gardens are a desk size!
It is a cold morning once again, so I made my Granma a cup of tea and joined her in bed.
'Thank you darling!' She said. I loved her youthfulness, she was 51 but still looked my mother's age. Don’t tell her! We had our morning chat and these words were boxed out of my lips.
'Granma, do you believe in true love?' I asked. She went mute for a moment. I froze waiting for thunder!
“Mm where do I begin?” She stated.
'Let me tell you my story!' She smiled and took a sip of her tea!

Fearless by Taylor Swift
'We driving down the road; I wonder if you know, I’m trying so hard not to get caught up.
But you are so cool, run your hand through your hair absent mindedly making me want you!
And I don't know how it gets better than this. You take my hand and drag me head first Fearless and i don't know but with you i dance in the storm in my best dress. FEARLESS'
NOVEMBER 2011
Jaime and I were nothing but a fairytale. We had the strongest relationship. Even though we had dated for two years then, it had always felt like our first day, first date and amazing kiss!
He was my biggest dream, achievement, reward!
We had met during one of his band shows. I had but first saw him on my first day in high school and he was already in grade eleven and I was in grade eight. Fourteen years old and he was seventeen.
I had gone to him and greeted him after I've earned some power, soon enough he began asking me out. We began being lovers on the 4th of March 2010!
Our first kiss was on his Mahindra truck that on that Friday. It was amazing. I had fallen just way deep for him- I tried holding myself and heart back because I knew that with that hot body and handsome face, he was a player -he was popular too. So who was I to think that he was mine?-
Maybe the love of his life!
The days I realized that I loved him so much and he actually did the same I earned trust for him and we were just the best.
Within those two years of our relationship we had been through so much, but after heart breaks, break ups, sleepless nights and all that. November was one of the best times we had togethor! He was doing he's final year in high school then and I was still as low as grade nine-how I wanted to be just eighteen like him!
Fortunately he finished his Maths and science within the first three weeks of his final exams so we had plenty of time to ourselves!
"We need to make the most of this days while I'm around," He told me on the day he fetched me at my school gate after school. My two friends, Sindy and Kayla were on the back seat giggling.
"Yea,'' I had agreed with him with a helpless smile. We drove Sindy and Kayla to their homes. He then drove to the mall.
"Are we having lunch out?" I asked still smiling.
