Still

Still I dream of you and I,
within my mind at night

And I Still want you in my arms,
embrace you ever tight

Your eyes lay deep within my heart,
they Still have their effect

I Still remember your lovely face,
your beauty I can’t forget

I find it hard to let you go,
so Still my heart holds on

And Still my heart  will be with you,
until all things are gone

I realize Still I can’t deny,
I do and always will

Have care for you, deep in my heart,
I love you ever Still
