# I Still Love You Poem by astaldo ELVEN

Whenever we walked together
I’d hold your hands tight
Always, regardless of anything, everything
For fear you would suddenly disappear in sight.

It all seemed fine until you found another
Another who was better, more beautiful in your eyes
So you let go of my hands, went to hold hers
Leaving me, abandoning me and heavily I sighed.

My heart repeatedly told me that it was upset
But on my face wrote an I-don’t-care expression
I guess I was just not willing to admit
The fact that I was not the best one for you.

My worst fear had eaten me up
But what could I do?
Helpless me was numb all day, all night
Void of feelings, void of emotions.

Perhaps it is because of the way I am
I know I will not change because of you
I tell myself I will live the way I should
And I will live my life good.

But I still love you.
