Chris van der Westhuizen

Die wonderlikste gevoel
Nog ooit gehad,
Was die dag toe ons
Oor enigiets kon praat.
Die dag toe ek nie meer
Hoef te wonder dat ek,
Dalk iets verkeerd mag sê
Wat jou ’n afsku in my sal gee.

Die gevoel van
Ek kan alles met jou deel,
Maak alle gebreuke
In my lewe heel.

Die dag toe ons mekaar
Met soveel liefde aanvaar,
Daai dag het ek geweet
Ek het my trouvrou beet.
’n Vrou wat by my
Deur dik en dun sal staan,
Vir wie ek ’n man kan wees,
Om elke seerplekkie te genees.

That Day, My Love…

The most amazing feeling
I’ve ever had,
Was the day we could
Talk about anything, good or bad.
The day I no longer
Had to wonder if I
Might say something wrong
That would make you say goodbye.

That feeling that
I could share everything with you,
Made all the broken pieces
In my life feel whole and true.

The day we accepted each other
With so much grace and care,
That day I knew
I’d found a love so rare.
A woman who would
Stand by me come what may,
To whom I could be a man
And heal each hurt along the way.
