Reckless Or Brave Poem by Maphoka Lenkoe

Fear? What fear
So what, if my heart should shatter into pieces
Regret? What regret
So what, if I found out it was never mutual
Then, I will know that the love was between the souls
If you dare deny it, your soul takes no part in that
Then, I will have known joy even if it was fleeting
Then, I would have been loved deeply, even if it was imagined
Then, I would have learned to bravely love immensely, even if the wrong person
So what, if it ends
To never have had, this would be far worse
