Dear Kim {Letter to my Unknown}

Your name is too long, so I cut it short because I’m out of words every time I see you. Kungathi it’s me daily ngibheke umabonakude, that’s TV in Ndebele and ngiyazi uyazi, but the long words I use make me think you and I can have the longest journey.

I know this doesn’t sound like I’m asking you out, but the musicality in this letter reminds me of your voice nxa ungitshela to keep quiet in class. It’s not that I’ve got bad behavior, but I would do anything to get your attention.

When you call out my name, it’s like a day-to-day resurrection. You might be the Head Girl, but please listen, cutie pie, I plan on making you my head—oh, I mean queen bee, baby girl. I’ll treat you with class and make you sparkle better than glass.

I have a formula for love, and that’s {2πr²h}. Meaning it takes the two of us, cutie pie, to take the relationship to greater heights .

This is a letter from me, love, yours truly{ Triibal} 

I know you’re my soulmate, my better rival
