My Dear Ex Poem by Sboniso Siyanda Manqele

I know I was your first
And you said to be your last
Everything happened so fast
I'm sorry what we had didn't last

I knew I was so bad
But you said to be your best
Like any other boy all I wanted was sex
You didn't want to have one, so I left

I knew I loved you
But I was so confused
Like any other kid at an adolescence stage
Breaking up, that was for my mistakes

I know I caused you pain
The way I behaved, and the words I said
Given second chance I would rephrase my words
And also undo mistakes I made

I know I can't have you back
All I want for you is to be happy
If having me won't make you happy
I better be this lonely, I'd be happy

And if it happens ever
Being in need of a friend or whatever
I'll be a mile away just shout whenever
Love you always, and that will be forever
