You said you loved me by Matuba Mahlatjie (Written in 2009)

Maybe you said it in jest and I took to heart. Was it to mind? I don't quite know. But the words 'i love you' came out of your mouth and you projected them so well. They were engraved somewhere inside of me.

I never once interrogated or questioned this love you so often confessed. It almost became traditiön. I got acustomed to it. Some things are better left unquestioned. I am not even curious to know how long the love will last or how much of it you have.


All I know is that if it ends, I'll be cripled. If it is less than I imagined, I'd die inside. You said you loved me, I did not take it for granted. I löve you too.
