I Cannot Forget You Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Heinrich Heine)

Never can I forget you,
my darling, you that I do embrace through the night,
where I do know of the impact of your love
and the perfect woman I only find in you.

Your body, soul and your sprit
fill me with joy and fear,

is a part of my in everything,
with whatever destiny do bring

and day and night I do yearn for you
as my companion, girlfriend and my wife,

where in each breath you are in me,
in each heartbeat you do have meaning.

Never can I forget you,
my darling, you that I do embrace through the night,
where I do know of the impact of your love
and the perfect woman I only find in you,

where as a unit we keep functioning
and we do not try to control each other.

[Poet's note: "Ich kann es nicht vergessen" by Heinrich Heine.]
