Still

You're still my angel
My darling.
You're still my only one
My love.

I'll still be there for you
Just like always
I'll still need you
Just like I did

You'll still be in my dreams
as you have never left
My eyes still burn with tears for you
They could never dry.

I wish I could find a way to say
that I've kept my promises
and that I have been wrong.
I was cruel to you. To myself.
For loving you.
For promising myself to you.

When I knew it wouldn't last.
Sweet sixteen baby, marry me.

I wish I could take back every emotion that you felt for me,
but maybe then you'd be empty.
As would I,
you have helped me all these years
Through illness and heartache
And I risked my life for our love.
And it was worth every breath.
Worth every whispered prayer.

And darling, though I've fallen far far out of love with you
I'll still have you know it was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
No matter what happens, my angel,
I'll still always love you.
