It has been a while now, but, South Africa, you obviously never got over the break up with Kevin Pietersen.
You still care about him, don’t you? Very much so, in fact.
You follow his every move, question everything he does or says, speak ill of him at every chance you get, stalk him on Twitter …
All the while claiming you don’t care for him at all. Telling everyone over and over again how he betrayed you and how you want nothing to do with him anymore.
I know break ups are tough. I know there were things said by him that he probably shouldn’t have, but he was just a boy back then.
And truth be told, you were also only just maturing and, well, it was all kind of complicated with you.
Now I am not passing judgement here, I am only saying that, perhaps, it just wasn’t meant to be.
Yes, he plays for England (just like he said he would), but you still have a special place in his heart. That is why he loves coming back, playing cricket at your beaches, enjoying your company.
Why is that so difficult for you? He harbors no hard feelings towards you at all, why don’t you too just leave what’s happened in the past?
It’s been 10 years now since he left.
Really South Africa, Kevin Pietersen has moved on, isn’t it time you do the same?
