PIECES OF NONSENSE:

MY CINDERELLA

Tell me that this is not just a feeling that will eventually go away
Tell me that meeting you is part of my destiny and not just another way
Tell me that being black is as good as white and that I should not be afraid
Tell me that I am still a winner and I should not be bothered by what people say
Don’t tell me that – because it’s all I want to hear you say

Tell me, when our eyes locked at the theatre
For the first time and I held on to that stare
Hoping that you felt the same way somewhere
Inside you
I felt like our hearts were pairing via blue tooth
And that this feeling we would share me and you
(Even the skies know it’s true)

So tell me, was my first step the wrong call I made?
Or tell me if asking you out was that all for me?
Because when we left the vault
Under that sunshine we walked
Stories of old we didn’t talk
But we had our own moments
Laughing at our own silly nonsense
I thought you and me had physics
Forget chemistry it’s overrated
See even when I said goodbye
You just walked away without a hug…..damn!

Now I call you every day and you don’t answer
I see you online in 'whatsapp' and I just wonder
If I send this text will you be bothered to answer
Or should I just forget you like I did my ex - Amina
But again my feelings for you keep on gnawing deeper
Spreading all over me like bushfire
Killing me softly like cancer

If you don’t tell me then I will tell you
I will tell you that I think you like me too
And I know you hate me because you know it’s true
And you hate yourself too and that makes us two!
I will tell you that I know you don’t believe in love at first sight
I also know you hate it when you know it’s true because you’ve read Shakespeare’s art
You’ve read about Anthony and Cleopatra, Othello, Romeo and Juliet
In all these, tragedy was the fruit of true love
And you are afraid that if you give in you might not have
What your heart craves.

But I tell you this; my heart goes out to you
I tell you this; I won’t let you go like the dove that flew
Away from Jesus’ shoulder into the heavens that are blue
I tell you this; I will never let you wander away from my view
I tell you this from the bottommost part of my heart and it’s true.

It’s true from the first moment our eyes locked I knew it was you
It’s true that I want to spend the rest of my life with you
It’s true that right now right here
All I am asking is will you be my Cinderella??
