    About this ebook

    Mbali yami...
    I’ve loved I’ve hated.
    I’ve been loved and hated.
    My heart? Tortured.
    My love? Scattered.

    I’ve seen I’ve heard.
    I’ve been hurt I’ve hurt.

    Happiness? Sadness.
    Lovelessness? Blindness.
    Carelessness? Mindless.
    Wordlessness? Speechless.

    Neglected I’ve been rejected.

    So what is the true
    Meaning of love?
    Some say the answer is
    Only known
    By the One above,
    To some itself true love
    Has shown,
    To most true love
    Is unknown.

    Some say love is lust,
    For it does not last,
    Even if there's trust,
    Like life it's not just.

    To others love is
    Just a feeling,
    But of all bonds it's
    The beginning.
    Which means it's
    Rather special,
    In life it is
    Essential.

    You know sometimes I wonder...
    I wonder why the sky is blue,
    Why I believe love is true.
    I wonder why I even love,
    Sometimes I feel like a dove.

    I wonder why I hate the ocean,
    I think I need a love portion.
    I wonder why the Earth is round,
    Why I’m always romancing around.

    They say love isn’t everything,
    I say love can be anything.

    Sometimes love often leads to sorrow,
    For we can never predict how love will affect us tomorrow.
    Sometimes I wish my relationships were straight and narrow,
    You know,
    Like a perfectly aimed arrow.

    But in real life wishes often never come true,
    I mean just look at all the difficulties we go through.
    Owning a copy of this bundle is a must,
    These words you can trust.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
