I still love you



I still love you

I still love you, though the years have passed,
Like a broken frame, a love that couldn't last.
In the corridors of my memories, you still reside,
I still love you, eternally  I can't hide.

Through the daylight of time, I wander alone,
In search of the love that once we had known.
Our flame may have grown cold,
But the echoes of our love still gently unfold.

In the twilight hours, when the world is at still,
I revisit the moments that time cannot kill.
Our laughter and our tears, becomes the moments of desire,
Now our happy moments are lost in the mists of a fire.

I still love you, though you're no longer here,
You will forever be in my heart, forever and held dear.
In my dreams, your presence is missing, a complete reminder of an incomplete love

Though the paths we once tie now diverge apart,
I still cherishes what we used to be,
And even if time has taken a change upon this soul
The memories will remain as long as I'm alive.
