While I Wish Life Would Be As It Was Then(Couplets) Poem by Gert Strydom

This being away from you my love, weirs me thin
as you are in my life, mind and under my skin.

This Corona virus does not leave anyone without distress,
even in dreams it comes to me when I do rest.

Many weeks ago I did see you face to face,
you were happy at our own dwelling place.

I wish life would be as it was then
and you are in the fantasies of me and other men

but so much more than just this kind of thing,
to my you are wonderful and amazing

and all that love really is remains a mystery
but you are more than just perfect to me

and right here I pray for you each day,
that God will protect you while you are from me away.
