Yes, it is me <br />who looks at You <br />from the oddest places and strangest faces <br />as I just happen to be <br />only near You to see <br />you go through life's mysterious paces. <br /> <br />In your coffee cup though <br />it's unbearably hot, <br />as I swim to and fro: <br />Will you drink me or not? <br /> <br />In the night I am flying <br />through mountains of ice, <br />always looking and searching <br />for the one Edelweiss. <br /> <br />As you found me inside you, <br />chamber locked from within <br />I will welcome your presence <br />and I'll have my own grin. <br /> <br />So, I ask you in shyness: <br />Will you let me stay longer? <br />(Feel like calling you 'Highness' <br /> if it makes my case stronger) . <br /> <br />I will still look at you <br /> from the watering can. <br />If You tell me 'I do' <br />I will stay as your man.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/will-you-keep-me/
