Still

Darling, still I remember
Our sweet love last November
When you held me so tender
Tenderly
And your kiss I recall
Was undoubtedly all
I had hoped and imagined
It would be
But the seasons they change
The mirage melts away
When beautiful things have to end
We could not elude it
Our daydream concluded
And sorrow so sweetly commenced
With your gentle departure
I have traded my heart for
One lambent & lovingly blind
And it trembles within
Like the delicate wings
Of a bird seeking freedom to fly
But then you turn away
Feel the sting as you say
Darling, you are no longer
My thrill
And I don’t understand
But it’s out of my hands
So I say to my heart
Darling, still
