Spend your time with me until the night end <br />as we attend a party at the house of a friend <br />smile and talk to me as if I am someone else <br />laugh merrily at the jokes our host tells, <br />while you dance with me where the stairs bend, <br />spend your time with me until the night end. <br /> <br />Spend your time with me until the night end <br />smile coyly while a drink I recommend, <br />treat me like a stranger you have just met <br />while our eyes are just on each other set, <br />let your glance shy before mind descend, <br />spend your time with me until the night end. <br /> <br />Spend your time with me until the night end <br />even if our friends do not really comprehend <br />why we are different from our old stances <br />why we are romancing in all our glances <br />while like some strangers we together blend, <br />spend your time with me until the night end. <br /> <br />Spend your time with me until the night end <br />as if life on a moment do depend <br />while you act just like a brand new lover, <br />as if our feelings we did rediscover, <br />as if we met only on a godsend, <br />spend your time with me until the night end. <br /> <br />Spend your time with me until the night end, <br />friendly greet the old smiling reverend <br />while we proudly walk past to our dinner <br />as if we are just two love-struck sinners, <br />while our unfamiliarity we do pretend, <br />spend your time with me until the night end.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-from-a-husband-to-a-wife-envelope-couplet-sestets/
