When To Me You Did Come Poem by Gert Strydom

When to me you did come
of all my wishes this was the sum
and I wished for something more than just care,
wanted us both in love’s magic to partake
and your dear presence there was only for my sake
but in your presence I felt speechless and dumb
when to me you did come.

You did love me
with a woman’s sweet loyalty
but at the time I loved you more
and between us was a brilliant flame
a kind of feeling that love had much more in store
but at the time I did not know your name
and how unlikely it seemed to be
that you did love me.
