We did linger in each others company <br />for long moments, <br />I could bring smiles to the faces of others, <br />but my comments <br />did not do a thing to your lovely face, <br />even events <br />of happy times were only slipping past you <br />and I wondered about what to do? <br /> <br />In the strangeness behind you pretty eyes <br />I want to dwell, <br />to explore the world that’s inside your head, <br />I do know well <br />that there are things that are hidden, that we <br />do not just tell, <br />the things in our lives, even if just small, <br />help us to rise high and to slip and fall.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-did-linger-in-each-others-company-cavatina/
