Though a fictional novelist, C.P. Murphy occassionally pens out poetry.

“I Still Love You”
C.P. Murphy

I want to know what its like to see you smile again;
want to know what its like to hold your hand one more time.
You probably think that I don’t remember.
But, how could I forget the one who taught me to love?
How could I forget the one who taught me to cry?
I want to know what its like to kiss your lips one more time;
want to hold you so close and feel the heart that I broke.
I want you to know that after all these years, I still love you!

I want to take back all the words that I said;
Want to take back the pain that I caused for both of us.
I know we both have gone on but, the memory still hurts.
I want to tell you I’m sorry for everything;
Want to tell you I’d take it back if I could.
Want to tell you that after all these years, I still love you!

And, I’ll always love you,
No matter how far apart we are.
I want to see your sparkling eyes one more time;
Want to see them looking into mine.
I want the tears to flow for the happiness I’ve never known
…until I met you
…before I left you
…before I tore us apart!

Whether we like it or not,
One of these days we’re going to die.
If you go before me,
I want to say that I tried.
If I go before you,
I want to know that you knew how I felt.
After all this time
You’re still on my mind.
After all these years, I still love you!
