Falling For You Poem by Sakhile Junior Mndzebele

I never planned to fall for you, I didn't just think about how I feel. It just happened, a spontaneous eruption of what was already inside. Bit by bit it accumulated until I couldn't keep it contained anymore. For what its worth, we are equally guilty, you fed the tiger in me and he grew, grew fonder of you in ways I could not have imagined. If you weren't you maybe I could not have felt that which I feel now, but I never could blame you, as much as it burns me inside, I still see the beauty of it; I never thought it was still possible for me to feel so genuinely intensely of you or any one else. Just when I thought love was dead, you resurrected it inside of me.
