Still

By crystalynelle84

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why do I love you – after you treated me with such indifference? Why don't you love me – after I gave you all my heart? I know I will meet many more people And that "there are more fish in the sea" But my emotions are winning over my reasonable mind It's not them I want, it's you! I love you ... still I'm lost - but I'm not completely without hope I know what my mind is telling me But I can't believe it Because (foolish as it is) I love you ... still I pray to God that I can forget these ideas Because I know that I have to be content With whatever situation comes And for now I can do it I can find consolence in the past - For a time, I was happy in the fact that we loved each other Although now only I love you ... stillThis poem is a translation of a poem I originally wrote in Spanish. If you're interested, it's "Todavia." Written October 22nd, 2002 © on Apr 21 2002 07:47 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
