When I close my eyes you are right next to me, <br />but you are gone <br />when I awake and for some long moments <br />I am alone; <br />daily your sweet company brings me joy, <br />you are the one <br />whose absence brings the greatest kind of pain <br />but in my thoughts you constantly remain.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-close-my-eyes-cavatina/
