My Heart Still Longs for You

Do not stir my heart with yours; I'm more restless than before,
Though love may weigh so heavily, my heart still longs for you.

Leave me drifting in your eyes, defenseless, lost at sea,
For even in your deepest tides, your love is what I seek.

Though distance built a thousand walls between your heart and mine,
This wandering soul still searches for you in every breath of time.

I do not curse the pain of love, nor fear the lonely nights,
For even wounded, love remains the flame within my life.

Come, look into my weary eyes, where restless dreams reside,
These eyes, now filled with falling rain, await you by their side.

What more could I desire from life than your sweet smile each day?
For all the dreams I've ever held begin with you, always.

And if fate takes us far apart, beyond the reach of hands,
My heart will travel after you across forgotten lands.

I never thought that love would be an easy road to walk,
For loving you with all my soul means more than words can talk.

I see you in my dreams at night, I search for you in rhyme,
Each page within my poetry bears traces of your name.

And if one day the dust of grief should settle on your face,
My heart will be a shelter where you find a gentle place.

Do not believe that I could ever leave your love behind,
For in the deepest part of me, your memory will shine.

I am the candle burning through the darkness of the night,
Though fading slowly in the wind, my soul still dreams of light.

Come, let us paint our moments with the colors of the spring,
For what is tomorrow worth if love has lost its wings?

I need no world to understand the secrets I conceal,
It is enough that you should know how deeply I can feel.

A hundred times I've fallen down, a hundred times I'll rise,
For even this exhausted soul still trusts in love's replies.

I do not love you just for beauty or for passing desire,
I love you as you truly are, my heart's eternal fire.

Stay, and let us weave our story with the breath of every spring,
For your presence makes my barren heart a garden blossoming.

And if they ever ask me what the meaning of love could be,
I'll say: it's choosing someone still, through every stormy sea.

Do not stir my heart with yours; I seek no peaceful shore,
For if your love is called a storm, my heart could ask for more.

And if one day a silence falls between your world and mine,
Know that this heart will still be searching for your light to shine.

This feeling has no final page, no fate that makes it end,
For as long as life remains in me, my heart will seek you again.

My heart still longs for you...
Through every breath, through every dream,
And even when the stars grow dim,
Your name will live within me.
