“I Still Love You.”

They whispered like a prayer and a curse,

“So what do you want to do?”

I reply through my lingering hurt.

“I want to love you for the rest of my days,

in only the best of ways.”

Their words cause a pang in my heart.

I remember how strong our love was at the start.

“We both hurt each other through our immaturity and games,

I don’t know if things could ever be the same.”

They look at me without a word.

For a moment, I doubt they heard.

They respond,

“It won’t be the same, maybe something new,

I only know it won’t be worth it if it isn’t you.”

“Another try, maybe a stronger bond,”

I whisper, drawing nearer.

Their lips met mine and sparks flew.

And as they drew me in closer, I knew they felt it too.
