Because You’re Still Looking at Me 💖
A poem of love, distance, and the ache of farewell
Each evening, by the window of my dreams,
I long to see your honey-sweet face once more.
Because your eyes still hold my name,
My heart overflows — endlessly, silently.
Line after line, I draw your image again and again,
Until my soul forgets where I end and you begin.
Rain has fallen in your city tonight,
And the water rests upon your windowpane.
A thousand quiet sorrows wrap around my heart,
Yet still — I keep loving you in between the pain.
Because you’re still looking at me,
I drift through the city of dreams.
Every time I try to turn away,
I find myself watching you again.
I want to lose myself
Along these winding roads,
Among the unknown crowd,
In the wild wind and restless rain.
Smiles and laughter fill this heart of mine,
Yet somehow, I keep fading away inside.
Because you’re still looking at me —
Still, I drift through waves of sorrow,
And in their hush,
I whisper my last goodbye.
