Now Life Is More Like A Sentence Poem by Gert Strydom

I wish I could stand close to you,
where locked-down I am away
but deadly the virus does continue.

and your feelings I want to understand much better
where I am missing you terribly.
I wish I could stand close to you,

draw you against me and embrace you
and even your imperfections have got perfect meaning
but deadly the virus does continue.

Life is curtailed by measures
and of all of this we have knowledge.
I wish I could stand close to you,

I want to go to you with all the unsaid things,
that you can know of the depth of my love
but deadly the virus does continue.

where only for you I want to exist
but now life is like a sentence.
I wish I could stand close to you
but deadly the virus does continue.
