If I Want To Think Straight Poem by Gert Strydom

If I want to think straight
I will find something beautiful
in the things that lies between us
that comes out of the pain.

At times a flower blooms
at place where you
would not expect a plant at all
and I have seen trees flowering
in the middle of winter

Your tears break my heart
and I know that you know far better
about yourself,
than I can
and I hope that you rest well.

Maybe being away helps
for you to know
what we have got,
and that I truly love you.
