Still

If you only knew how deep inside I STILL love you. It was a dream so sweet it STILL sweeps me off my feet. I'm STILL yours heart and soul in a love story a thousand years old. This longing so strong for you and to you I STILL belong. Will it fade away someday when my hair is gray? When I can't hear our song or when my mind is gone? Will my heart forget or STILL remember you yet? Will I STILL want to hear your voice? Do I even have a choice? Yes, a thousand years may come and go but there's one thing I'll always know, I'll STILL love you. I'll STILL... love... you. By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: 2018 "All Rights Reserved"

A lovely expressive poem Carole, I feel the sadness in it. If only we could have an on and off switch button for our emotions. Wishful thinking, though, we are what we are. A fave for me ...Maria hugs

Yes, but if we had that "on-off" switch I guess we'd be like robots. Besides, the "on" is worth the pain to me. Thank you so much for your comment, Maria, and for the "fav". Carole :D

Losing a beloved person does not leave one with much choice, but at least there are still lovely memories to fall back on. Yours is a lovely expressive poem based on longing, sad emotions, and unanswered questions, Carole. ~ Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul. I know many many people go through this but it gets harder as you get older and you know "Time" is short. Carole ;(
