I Am Loosing A Friend Poem by Mantsebo Golda Motlhatlhedi (Gaojewe)

You came and I am loosing a friend or rather a friend, me
Reluctant I was, took a chance and followed a heart
Should I have followed my mind instead?

How do you then break heart and mind conflict?
One will overpower the other in one way or the other, in this case, heart.

My mind has fought, not an easy battle and came to a conclusion
You came and for years
never felt your presence
except in my heart where thy will forever be.

Tonight, I respectfully let go of what should be or could have been.
Shall I say 'till we meet again? '
Or shall I say 'hoping never to meet you again'?
Well, that is up to you to decide, since mine is already made.

And I shall say 'it has been quite a learning experience and greatly appreciated'
