Have you ever feel the way I feel

Have you ever feel the way I feel

Do you have some one who you really care about;
Who does not even notice you;
Do you have some one you love;
Who does not even care about you;
Have you ever feel down;
Because of being rejected.

Showing some one how you truly love;
But not even interested in your story;
Have you ever feel so rejected;
Where you even think of dying;
Have you ever feel so down;
Where you even wanted to cry.

Have you ever cried;
Where you even felt tired and sleep.

Have you ever loved someone;
Where you can do everything;
To make them feel the love;
Where you can do everything;
To make them see how you feel;
To make them feel save and secure.

Have you ever;
Feel the way I felt.

Make sure you are sure

Make sure you are sure

Every stride you take;
Difficult will be;
To backside your steps;
Every progress you make;
Difficult will be;
To go back;
Like when you were moving.
Sense and assess your thoughts;
Sooner than making a decision;
If you are all set;
That is reasonable, yes is ok;
Nevertheless know that this move is immense
You ought to be more than geared up;
To say you are ready.
No judgment I have;
To dishearten you from moving;
In the midst of care I have;
With the love I have;
I do not yearn to be upset;
Like yesterday and day before;
So make sure you are sure.
I really want to be with you;
I want to spend my life with you;
I need to spend precious time with you;
I really want to see you smiling;
I want to make you happy;
I need to be there when you cry;
I want you to be an element of my life.
I do not want you to make a mistake;
Like others and then regret;
The first wound was bad enough;
It was painful;
No need for me to go there again;
That is why I want you not to rush;
I want you to take it slow.
I am not parting;
Here I am;
I will hang around for you;
I will constantly be present for you;
So, do not aim to hurt me;
I heard enough;
So make sure you are really sure.

She just can’t get over me

She just can’t get over me

The fist day when I saw her;
I did not think she had those stupid thoughts;
Although I spoke to her;
I made jokes and she was overwhelmed;
I just liked to know her;
As a person not in any how;
I did not want to be related to her;
Just as a person not in any how.
I never thought of her being friend;
Because there was at all nothing to learn from her;
On no account I imagined her being close to me;
Because nothing interesting I found in her;
She is just a dumb;
So why can not she get over me?

So soon to project

So soon to project

We only celebrated;
For few days or hours;
Fruits are promising;
But I just think;
It is still early to dance.

After these years being apart;
Now a sudden big move;
Move of being together;
And holding hands for that long;
It makes me think of the best;
Which I can proclaim still to come.

I never thought about this;
I never thought about this happening;
But happy is what I am;
And happy is what she is;
Overwhelmed feels my heart;
With pleasure I am saturated.

I am not sure if we are meant;
To be together;
She seemed to be cute yesterday;
And that is what she said to me;
When looking at our conversations;
We happen to fall in love with few things.

Just a new dawn

Nearly all thought;
It would be sun set;
They thought;
I am heading to the end;
But here I am;
Rejoicing and happy at all.

Recalcitrant South Africa

It is constipated;
It is screaming;
It is roaring;
Without anyone raising a hand
;No one wish to help;
All they refrain;
So to come clean.

Last time it was Zimbabwe;
Its responsibility;
To calm down crises there;
Was demolished;
With political motivated motives;
And fail was the results;
To mediate two fighting bulls in Zimbabwe.

Today here we are;
People are dying;
People are being burned alive;
Just because they are Africans;
Just because they are black in color;
The president of the country Thabo Mbeki;
Is even fearful to open his mouth.

People who used to sleep well;
Without having bad dreams;
Are now sleeping sleepless nights;
Eye opened like wild animals;
Always packed ready to vacate;
Always afraid of death.

Streets are things of the past;
Only police walk freely;
Without a fear of being violated;
By perpetrators who does perpetration.

An african women

Many years she lived;
And she is still alive.

Under a black Shadowed Monepenepe Tree;
Taking a breath;
After a long work;
At her Lepellane little land;
Where she ploughs every year
To produce food;
For her 13 children;
And 25 grand children.

Everyday she travels;
17 kilometers within a danced shrub;
With bared feet;
In a hot summer sun;
She walks Maselatole Moruthane;
Everyday towards her little land at Lepellane;
Her produce makes it possible;
To take care of her children;
And grand children.

Every year she is;
With bared feet;
Walking on hot sand;
Which is as hot as a hot plate;
On her hands;
She is holding a long straight hoe;
And a bottle of water and sour milk;
Sometimes carrying a crying baby on her back;
A crying baby of her children;
Who are busy playing games at home;
Having no feelings of helping her.

At the end of the season Lehlabula;
She harvests and takes back hone;
So that the children can stop crying;
And fill their shrinked stomachs.

Every year;
She does the same thing;
She is an African Woman.

I never thought she will be back

I never thought she will be back

I am worn out;
I know not what to do;
Cause she is back;
She wants to come back;
In to my precious life;
To devastate it like before.

She say she is back;
By a popular demand;
With toned black denims;
She come within reach of me;
Stared at me and smiled;
Are not you happy;
When I am back?

Surprised and amazed I was;
Never even had time to think;
Words did not manage to come out;
I was out of my mind;
Thought I was seeing;
Something never saw before.

I do not want to remind myself;
About the times;
When she was next to me;
The times she ruined everything I had;
The love and trust I had on her;
All of them, they are gone now.

After that I never thought she will be back;
I never thought I will see her again;
I was feeding her like a baby;
Nothing is what she knew;
Nursing her in thoughts;
That she was my own.

Now, I do not want;
To see her next tome;
After everything that happened;
Biting the hand that feed her;
Hurting the own person;
Who made her to be who she is;
I do not want to see her again.

Have dreams

Have dreams

Do dream;
Since tomorrow’s humankind is imminent;
It desires one to hallucinate
It needs one to have vision;
It needs one to be acquainted with;
What is it that he/she will do.

When you dream;
You amass;
You locate collectively;
Edifice resources;
You illustrate a chart of what you yearn for;
And at the end of the day you will fabricate
What you were working durable for.

Dream, dream and dream;
Because devoid of dream;
There is no prospect of tomorrow;
Dream is a preliminary exercise;
Which is done in preparation for tomorrow?

Dreams are not just dreams;
Most people are where they are;
Because of dreaming;
And some are no where;
Because they never dreamed;
So dream and dream;
Never get worn-out.

The more you dream;
The better chance of accomplishing your dreams.

And you are still;
You appreciated everything I did for you;
And I did the same.

I want you back dear;
The life that I am living now without you;
I do not understand;
Just because you are gone;
You are far from my nerves;
And far from my senses;
Please come back;
Because I need you back.

Your Picture

Your Picture

There is your picture on my wall;
When I put it there;
I thought it will be décor;
But now it has another purpose;
It is a friend;
Who keeps me company all the time.

It looks so beautiful;
It really suits the room;
I spent lot of my time looking at it;
I spent lot of my time speaking to it;
It is just friendly as you are.

The first thing in the morning;
I look at it;
The last thing in the evening;
I look at it;
I never forget to lay my eyes on it.

Always when looking on it;
Many things come in to my mind;
It has a lot of memories for me.

The first day when we meet;
You were so sweet;
So beautiful and humble;
When looking on the picture;
I still see you.

I know that we live far from each other;
And we only leave after long time;
But I have never missed you;
Because of your picture;
It always keeps me warm.

I do not regret what we did


Yes;
I do know what you mean;
And I do know what you are thinking of.
I do understand;
Because we just met once;
And we do not know each that much;
What we did is not stupid;
And it is not foolish.
Maybe I should ask you this;
Why do you think what we did is stupid?
I thought it was fun;
Was not it?
Then why do you feel bad about it;
Why do you regret it?
I do not regret;
Because we had fun.
It was a lifetime experience;
Do not you believe?
About a Love at a first sight?
I do believe in it,
Because what happened;
Is exactly what I am talking about.
Stop worrying your self;
Stop questioning what happened;
Because it is now the past;
Let us forget about it;
And start planning;
Let us plan about tomorrow;
And enjoy who we are;
We are meant for each other.

So proud I stand

I stand up everyday;
Pronouncing lout who am I;
Telling people where am I from;
Without fear but with self confidence;
I stand before everyone;
Telling them whom I used to be;
Before yesterday and today.

I am proud to stand up;
And fry Masutsa;
Drink home made Amarura beer;
And drink home made Mageu;
I feel proud to tell people;
That I grew up in a poverty striven area;
Where I used to eat Dikodi and Matsankodi.

Even today where I am;
And tomorrow where I will be;
I will never leave my past back;
I will carry them with me where ever I go;
So proud I will always stand;
And pronounce who I am.

We were dancing a Masoboro dance;
Singing songs of Basemanyana;
Eating Mabilo and Mapara;
Drinking Borolo and Manapo;
So proud we stand;
And always we will;
Without any fear of intimidation.

Young Lions

You the juvenile lions;
Growl as tomorrow you will be in charge;
You immature lions of South Africa;
How will you bite tomorrow;
How will you slay tomorrow;
Because you are now divulging your teeth.

Get together juvenile lions;
Plan for your outlook;
Do not obliterate your nature;
By so doing;
You are also annihilating our motherland.

Grind your teeth;
Prepares your self for tomorrow;
Do not sit down and slumber;
And anticipate to constantly be awakened;
Tomorrow will be an extra day;
And no one will stimulate you;
You will be on your own.

Be sure of the foot you shift first;
Be sure sooner than making any move;
Because your foremost shift;
Determine your tomorrow;
Watch your footsteps everyday;
And you will live to see tomorrow.

You young lions of South Africa;
Go through all steps you are making;
Prepares for a wrestle;
Tomorrow y a wrestle is coming;
And you will have to face it.
With the look of my eyes;
You do not look ready;
If you do not prepares today;
And look back to what you did;
South Africa will lose tomorrow’s fight.

World Aids Day

According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.
Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.
Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

World AIDS Day 2008:LEAD-EMPOWER-DELIVER
03/06/2008 9:07 am

Leadership is the theme for World AIDS Day 2007 and 2008, promoted with the campaigning slogan, “Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.”
Leadership encourages leaders at all levels to stop AIDS. Building on the 2006 theme of accountability, leadership highlights the discrepancy between the commitments that have been made to halt the spread of AIDS, and actions taken to follow them through. Leadership empowers everyone – individuals, organisations, governments – to lead in the response to AIDS.
In 2007, people around the world were encouraged to take the lead to stop AIDS. Campaigns took the shape of marches, leadership discussions, public awareness events and pledges from leaders. These events all helped to put leadership in the spotlight.
People have offered their leadership – now it is time to deliver. Promises must be kept, and people must feel empowered to act.
Why is 2008 important?
2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. Since 1988, the face and response to AIDS has greatly changed. While many of these changes are positive, this anniversary offers us an opportunity to highlight how much more still needs to be done.
For example:
Leaders in most countries from around the world now acknowledge the threat of AIDS, and many have committed to do something about it. As of 2007, nearly all countries have national policies on HIV. However, despite these policies, most have not been fully implemented and many lack funding allocations.
While treatment for HIV and AIDS has improved and become more widespread since 1988, many still do not have access to it – in 2007 only 31% of those in low- to middle-income countries who need treatment received it.
Despite HIV awareness now reaching nearly all areas of the globe, infection rates are still happening 2.7 times faster than the increase in number of people receiving treatment.
While the number of countries protecting people living with HIV continue to increase, one third of countries still lack legal protections and stigma and discrimination continues to be a major threat to universal access.
More broadly, real action on HIV and AIDS and human rights remains lacking. Legal barriers to HIV services still exist for groups such as women, adolescents, sex workers, people who use drugs, and men having sex with men, and programmatic responses promoting HIV-related human rights have yet to be prioritised.
World AIDS Day began in 1988 when health ministers from around the world met and agreed on the concept of the day as an opportunity for all of us to come together to demonstrate the importance of AIDS and show solidarity for the cause. In 2008, this underlining principle of solidarity and awareness remains the same.
We have only two years to go for “the goal of universal access to comprehensive prevention programmes, treatment, care and support by 2010”[1].”
To achieve this goal, leadership and action is needed now. Governments must deliver on the promises they have made. Communities must encourage leadership of its members. Individuals must feel empowered to access treatment, to know their rights and take action against stigma and discrimination, and to know and use methods of prevention against receiving and transmitting HIV.
Now, more than ever is the time to lead – empower – deliver.

Obama says thank you!

Obama says thank you!
You proved that change can happen. You built an unprecedented grassroots organization in all 50 states that brought a record number of people into the political process -- many for the first time, many for the first time in a long time.
Our success required unprecedented resources, and our the Democratic National Committee played a major role on the ground efforts that generated record turnout up and down the ticket.

What Obama is saying about Foreign Policy

Secure loose nuclear materials from terrorists:
Obama and Biden will secure all loose nuclear materials in the world within four years, and will negotiate a verifiable global ban on the production of new nuclear weapons material to curb the spread of nuclear weapons.
Barack Obama will pursue tough, direct diplomacy without preconditions to end the threat from Iran:
Obama and Biden will present the Iranian regime with a clear choice. If Iran abandons its nuclear program and support for terrorism, they would offer incentives like membership in the World Trade Organization. If Iran continues its troubling behavior, Obama and Biden will step up our economic pressure and political isolation.
Renew American diplomacy:
Obama and Biden will renew American diplomacy to meet the challenges of the 21st century. They will rebuild our alliances. And they would be willing to meet with all nations, friend and foe, to advance American interests.

Hummer man, sex worms a myth

Hummer man, sex worms a myth30/09/2008 14:00 - (SA)

Oris Mnisi & Thandy Ndlovu

Polokwane - Limpopo health officials have denied rumours that a growing number of women are seeking treatment for worms in their vaginas.
Rumours are doing the rounds that, in the past two months, a man driving a black Hummer has slept with and infected women from Phalaborwa to Polokwane, Mankweng, Mokopane.
"We are very concerned about these malicious rumours because curious people are flocking to our health facilities to catch a glimpse of these non-existent patients," said provincial health spokesperson Phuti Seloba.
He said some people arrive with R30 and ask hospital staff to buy liver with it, because they've heard that if the liver is placed on the woman's vagina, it will draw out the worms.
"We would really like to inform people that we do not have such patients in our hospitals - either now or in the past," said Seloba.
Instead, he reminded the public to practise safe sex by wearing a condom as part of the Zinthande (love yourself) campaign.
"The campaign is aimed to ensure that people manage and control the number of sexual partners they have in a lifetime. It is critical that people not wake up in bed with strangers," he said.
Limpopo police spokesperson Superintendent Moatshe Ngoepe said that while police had heard rumours of the Hummer man, no one had come forward to open a case against him.
"People have been talking about this Hummer man but they don't report him and there's no clear description of him," said Ngoepe.
Ngoepe urged anyone with more solid information about the man to go to their nearest police station.

Is that true

A progressive youth club AURA was launched in University of Limpopo

A progressive youth club AURA was launched in University of Limpopo

In a time of more than decades the university of Limpopo students were waiting for a social club with a progressive nature to take them from where they are to an upper level of responsibility to the communities they are coming from. On the 20th September this progressive organization which on no account has a particular relationship with the university was officially announced to students.

South Africa is sinking slowly

I am afraid when I think about what is recently happening in South Africa, my blood boils for a while. Earlier this year, we were talking about the division in the ruling party African National Congress because of the two camps that cropped up in favor of Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki. Things did not go well for the party at all, and then there was a ANC Youth League saga which also made the South Africans to think other wise for a while.

Something makes me to believe that what is happening recently in the country is the result of Polokwane Conference that was held last year in December. After the national conference, there were provincial conferences around all provinces. If people can realize, most of the premiers who were forming part of Thabo Mbeki camp suffered, they were not elected again for the position of chairpersonships in the provinces; some were also removed from the premierships.

What is happening to Thabo Mbeki is something that is being done in favor of Jacob Zuma. Zuma was sacked by Thabo Mbeki because of corruption charges, now Zuma won the case and the judge made it clear that Thabo Mbeki was involving himself politically within the same case. According to the ANCYL it is Mbeki’s turf to feel the pain that was felt by Zuma the time he was sacked. Fortunately Mbeki is coping very well with everything that is happening, he is not taking the issue very bad.

The issue of massive resignation by ministers is very bad. Outgoing minister in the presidency Essop Pahad will address a news conference later today on cabinet resignations. Government spokesperson Themba Maseko did not want to disclose what is going to be announced but it is believed everything regarding resignations.

President Thabo Mbeki has, to date, received letters of resignation from the following members of Cabinet which, regretfully, he has had to accept:
1. Deputy President2. Minister of Defence3. Minister of Finance4. Minister in the Presidency, Dr. Essop Pahad5. Minister of Intelligence 6. Minister of Correctional Services7. Minister of Public Enterprises8. Minister of Science and Technology9. Minister of Public Works10. Minister of Provincial and Local Government11. Minister of Public Service and AdministrationThe following Deputy Ministers have also tendered their resignations:1. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Aziz Pahad2. Deputy Minister of Finance and 3. Deputy Minister of Correctional Services
According to the office of the presidency The resignations will be effective from the day that the President’s resignation takes effect. All the Ministers have expressed their availability to assist the incoming administration in the hand-over process and any other assistance that might be sought from them. President Mbeki thanked the Deputy President, the Ministers and the Deputy Ministers for their dedicated service to the nation and wished them well in their future endeavours.

Dr. Musibudi Mangena launched Agro-Food-Technology Station in Limpopo

A new exciting project that will enhance and change the life of entrepreneurs who produces agricultural product was launched in Limpopo this week by the Minister of Science and Technology Dr. Musibudi Mangena. University of Limpopo was selected by the Minister to be the home of this Agro-Foot-technology Station. According to the Minister this is the first traditional University to host such an exciting Technology station. The vice Chancellor of the University of Limpopo professor Mahlo Mokgalong says as a University they are very happy to have such a project. “Gone are the days where Universities were doing things without realizing and recognizing what is going on at the communities around them” said Prof Mokgalong.

“My department realizes that effective technology diffusion and solutions can best be achieved in partnership with higher institutions which through research and development generate knowledge and a wide variety of technologies. We have developed programmes that support technology transfer and diffusion to small businesses and one of them is Tshumisano Technology Station Programme” said Dr. Musibudi Mangena.

Minister also highlighted that the programme started in 2001 with only three technology stations and now they have 12 fully operational stations spread through seven provinces, and they are also working on establishing technology stations on the remaining provinces. According to him the main purpose of the stations is to improve the competitiveness and innovation capacity of small businesses in specific sectors like the one of Agricultural food in Limpopo.

The Limpopo Agro-Food technology station offer a wide range of scientific services to the SME’s, agricultural co-operatives and food industries in developing, enhancing and maintaining a safe, efficient and cost-effective food production.

Limpopo Celebrate Africa Public Service Day

From Policy to results based implementation, this was this year’s theme of the Africa Public Service day. Africa Public Service day is an annual event that is held around African countries in order to share best practices and challenges that are being met when delivering services. According to the Department of Public Administration in South Africa the fundamental objective of APSD is the provision and delivery of value and quality public service to Africa's citizens, and due recognition of the working conditions and the quality of officials who devote their lives to diligently serve the various publics.

In Limpopo Province the 23rd of June was celebrated in a very sophisticated manner at University of Limpopo Turf loop campus, various government departments availed themselves for exhibitions and information giving sessions. People from the community of Mankweng in turf loop and surrounding areas were there to also celebrate the day. From Polokwane municipality all councilors were there and Councilor Lois Hardy managed to welcome all people and visitors.

People who attended the celebrations also managed to enjoy themselves by viewing a parliamentary discussion on the parliamentary channel via DSTV. There were also entertainment groups like Tinyungubyiseni Cultural Group and Military Brass band. The premier of Limpopo Sello Moloto was supposed to give a key note address but he did not manage to arrive at the event due to some unknown technical problems.

The art of celebrating youth day

“Today it is not yesterday and tomorrow will never be like today, why youth of today are always told about their behavior, the type of the world and the type of situation that we found our self within today will never be like the one youth of 1976 found themselves in” said one of the Sekgosese youth who was attending a youth celebrations at the Sekgosese community hall.

Ululations were heard all around the country as people were celebrating the commemoration of Soweto Uprising in 1976 were young people in South Africa stood up and fought for their rights. When fighting many of them died after being shot by police. Young people who were most were students were fighting for Afrikaans after being used as a medium of constructions at schools. The 16 June was then proclaimed as a public holiday by the recent government in honor of the youth who died when fighting for their rights.

Different youth from all provinces in the country celebrated this day through different activities. In Sekgosese Limpopo out site Polokwane, youth of Temosho Educational Development organized a huge event whereby young people from the region gathered to celebrate. Drama, poetry, dance, and different speeches were the orders of the day.

Inspector of Police in Sekgosese region Mr. Mashao said as police they are concerned about the escalating number of young people who are being arrested in daily basis. “These days we are aware that young people do no longer fight for their rights and needs, but they fight hard to engage themselves in criminal activities like rape and house robbery” he said.

Peer Educators from University of Limpopo in Turf loop campus were also there to give a health education to the youth; they were encouraging young people to refrain to sexual intercourse “in the name of preaching abstinence”. They also had a chance to demonstrate the proper use of condoms in order for people to avoid being effected with HIV.

“The youth of 1976 fought for their rights and need and what are we doing as youth of today when enjoying the fruits of their fight, are we going to sit down even if young people are dying because of HIV/AIDS?, are we going to ignore the escalating number of young people who are passionate in killing and raping our own society, let us wakeup and fight a fight which do not need guns, but our own minds and voices” said the administrator of the Temosho Educational Development.

The event was attended by more than 200 young people including the olds. Temosho Educational Development was formed in order to eliminate illiteracy at Sekgosese areas. It mission is to help young people on their way to a brighter future by giving advises and all information they might need. It is based at University of Limpopo and according to its members; it is planning to grow abroad so that it can reach all young people across the Limpopo province.

Student died as a result of Bus Crash laid to rest on Saturday

Three students who died last week after a horrible bus crash were laid to rest on weekend at separate villages in Tzaneen. One student died on the spot, the other on the way to hospital whiles the third one at the hospital. The accident happened when they were on their way to burry one of the former student at University of Limpopo who was enrolling with University of South Africa at Polokwane campus. He also died after having a tragic accident.

Students from University of Limpopo Turf loop campus supported the families of the deceased by going to the funeral in large numbers. Even if some of students did not manage to face the reality of their fellow student being lifted down the grave, some managed to be brave to carry their graves. “It is really difficult for us, they were our friends, colleagues and home mates, we do not know how to accept that they are gone and gone for ever” said one of the students.

The families of the deceased students made clearly at a memorial service held last week that they accepted that their beloved daughters are gone. “We are not pointing anyone with fingers and we are not ready to point, because we believe that it was their time, we live through a principle that always guide us and through the principle we believe that our daughters are gone for good not for bad” said Doreen Hlangwane’s uncle. He continued by saying people should respect what we believe as a family.

According to the Student Representative Council at the University, the funeral should have been prevented if only the management of the University should have provided transport. SRC says the management should buy new transport and also find a proper operation system for the transport in the campus. Since the beginning of the year, six students died because of the road accidents. “If a conducive transport system was operating in the campus, there would not be these types of accidents” said the students.

Most of the students at this particular University are also afraid of attending funerals because it is seems if going to a funeral is a call for another death. Some students also believe that there is a curse that needs to be cleansed in the campus.

Meanwhile last week the management of the University of Limpopo arranged a formal counseling session for the victims and survivors of the accidents including those who are affected by the incident.

“Students should make sure that they support and strengthen the family and friends of student who just past away, they should heal themselves as soon as possible so that to avoid being chief mourners at the funeral” said Dr. Msimeki when continuing with the counseling. Students who are the victims of the accidents and those who are just affected by the death and accidents expressed their selves that it is very difficult for them and it will take time for them to forget what happened.

Dark Days

The darkness was proclaimed;

People spoke about it longtime ago;

But some did not want to listen;

They kept quite;

Closed their mouths;

And refuse to comment.

Now here we are;

We are in darkness;

Everyday every night;

We struggle;

Even if we have money to buy energy.

No one is like you

No one is like you

People do differ;
But some are the same;
So do others with similarities;
Personalities differ;
And even the nature of persons.

I met many people;
I travelled the whole country;
And I met lot of people;
But no one, I mean no one;
Is nearly like you.

There is a say;
That all women are the same;
Just like all men are the same;
When I was travelling;
I met beautiful women;
I met caring and respectful women;
But none of them is nearly like you.

You are such a special girl;
If I have to walk away from you;
I will rather choose to die;
Than being far from you;
You are a star;
That will forever shine in my eyes.
