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
