I Love You Still

Oh how I felt I felt I would explode If I didn’t talk to you The first time I saw you My innards were knotted As my heart pumped blood clotted As I looked at you The first time I saw you Somewhere, somehow I found the courage To walk to you My knees were wobbling And I felt cold As I walked to you And as I tried to think Of some clever thing to say My mind was on the blink I felt I could just bray But then your eyes Met mine - across the universe And space and time Took a bow As my heart then wrote a verse Your eyes looked into me Right down to hidden truth Your laser-look burned through my string And my head floated off like a balloon I heard the circus I heard the song I heard the heartbeat beat a different gong And as my heady feeling Felt a rush of warmth My cheeks were ablaze Within your laser truth And at that moment, We shared, we sparked, we lived And all else faded To a background noise And then the universe responded The radio waves of dying stars We found ourselves surrounded We found ourselves on Mars Your mouth so slowly parted In a glistening ripe smile And my eyes were fixed on you Bonded with the strongest, the strongest super-glue And in that moment, Three children were conceived Three lives were there created As we looked and we believed Oh, how I felt Like I was not myself Oh how you felt, When you then gave yourself The rest is history And history is written For all to hear and all to see As you and I became “we” Oh, how I love you still After two decades and a half And how you thrill me still As I look upon your face
