The Lover

 

Dear love

You are by far, my favourite. You reveal in me, what I did not know I had. You come and bring gifts of peace and hugs. You tear down walls built so high that I even forgot what’s on the other side. You ease my fears and restore my yesterdays. You come with comfort and give my heart a home. You bring a storm only you can calm, at the price of my pride…but then again, you are more than worthy. Each day, without asking, you give me reasons to fall deeper in love with you and myself. You teach me how to carry myself. You teach me how to stand firm in my word.

Dear Rethabile Lerato Mabalane

What a marvel you are to watch. You are soft and vulnerable. You let your guard down and love loudly. You move boldly towards love as though you have never been hurt in it. You give as though you have never lost. You receive love as it is and give it back in ways you wished you received it. You become so gentle that the Rethabile who was taught to harden her heart, fades in the existence of the you, you are in love. You are at your most pure. You aren’t a daughter, a mother or even a girlfriend, you’re just the you that you wish you could always be. I love you when you are in love because the receiver receives more and more of you…but mostly, you receive more and more of yourself because with every encounter with love, you learn and give back to yourself. I love seeing you learn and bloom into the woman you pray about. You are my most favourite. I look forward to seeing more of you. Hearing more from you. Dear Rethabile, I look forward to you

Love

Rethabile, The Lover
