MINE

Fifilala Joy 1997 (Bloemfontein)



M. I. N. E, that's the name of a perfect stranger.

At first glance I thought it was the typical, the usual...,

but it was rather mysterious.

It didn't take long before my walls came tumbling down,

My defences were rather defeated.

I'm undone by his very persona, his calm spirit and charming smile.

It's in the way he looks at me,

The way he makes me laugh, and his detail in conversation.

Well... It feels surreal,

I mean, guy meets girl and the connection is undeniable.

Whether it's long-lived or short-lived, I want to make the best of it.

M. I. N. E, I think I've found my perfect stranger.
