I Love You Still

I love you still I’m not the greatest catch, I’ve gotten a wee bit slow. Some years have had me cornered and poached my youthful glow. Eternally in my heart, I still love the same bright star. I am beyond my stylish days, but I’m proud of every scar. When life brings forth contention that feels too hard to bear. Look deep into my eyes, you will see that I still care. I’m here to help you up, if you should ever fall. I possess an ear for you, it will listen for when you call. There is a phrase I once heard said, there are many fish in the sea. I wouldn’t really know, there is only one that I can see. If the day should ever come, that I can’t see when I look. I’ve written a novel in my heart, you’re on every page that’s in that book.

Cannot help but like the lines, "poached my youthful glow, I am beyond my stylish days, there is only one that I can see. I’ve written a novel in my heart, you’re on every page that’s in that book." A person with a soul.. Lovely write, Mark.
