Sleepless nights,
Endless dreams,
Never-ending pain,
Flooding Memories,
Still
His face in her dreams,
Sleep, interrupted by the memory
Of his touch in the middle of the night,
Of his lips on her skin,
Gentle enough not to wake her,
But so she knew he was there.
Strong arms held her body and her heart,
So close to his, she can hear the beat of his love,
Even today, even still.
The words of goodbye,
Of never again,
Of finality, echo continuously.
The questions run rampant,
The anger she tries not to feel,
Creeps into existence, and the pain,
Drops her to her knees, every time.
The chance she’ll never get,
Haunts her every second.
The thought of him not happy,
Would haunt her even more.
So she holds her head high,
And she breaks with every step,
While the confusion never leaves,
The hurt never stops, never subsides,
Even today, even Still.
For making her hidden heart brave
And awaking a soul that was never alive
For opening his arms, along with his heart,
And repeatedly catching her,
For the patience, devotion, dedication,
The always gentle touch,
The laughs,
The fights with smiles on their faces,
For that one dance that changed her life,
That dance that ended in LOVE.
For saying her name, like no one ever could,
She remains just one thing,
After it all, through her tears, she is simply,
Thankful.
Even today, even Still.
