In the middle of the road <br />I stop <br />I stare <br />At the bridge <br />And trees and cars <br />And at the crowds walking past <br />Looking for a familiar face <br />For your smile <br />For your gaze <br />For your arms open wide <br /> <br />But <br /> <br />Deep down I know <br />That you are gone <br />And I know <br />You don’t realize <br /> I want you back so much <br /> <br />So many things <br />I wanted to do <br />So many words <br />I wanted to say <br />But was too afraid to let go then <br /> <br />In case you judged me <br /> <br />But <br /> <br />You judged me anyway <br /> <br />For things I’d done <br />Out of loneliness <br />Out of your fear <br />For me to be gone <br />You let me let you go <br />Although I wanted to stay <br /> <br />Please let me say <br />I love you, still.<br /><br />Joanna Pavlides<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-love-you-still-11/
