You May Be A Realist Poem by Gert Strydom

You may be a realist,
who have got her life firmly in control
and as a romantic, I am
striving for a much better world

but somehow you understand me
to the depths of my existing
and your loving, your respect
is a very precious thing

and even if destiny arranges things,
arranges every day, in how we live and play
you are the one, who brings meaning to everything,
the one that brings meaning to who I really am.
