Now on the shore I stand by thee <br />As we stare lonely out to sea. <br />We know ourselves, or say we do, <br />Though time has said we never knew. <br />We cannot speak and say so much, <br />We dare not cry, yet long to touch. <br />And though we stare, we cannot see. <br />Time and memories block the sea. <br />We hold ourselves, it's not the same. <br />The wind is colder since we came. <br />We turn our heads as though to speak, <br />But pride is strong and words are weak. <br />Now we strain for a simple plea; <br />'No matter what, I still love thee.'<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-simple-plea/
