STILL
Artist: Brian McKnight

Funny when you stop and think,
Time goes faster than you blink,
Nothing’s ever like it was,
Girl we’ve got a special thing,
You're the happiness it brings,
Is more than enough,
I know it’s hard to believe,
You're still the biggest part of me,
All I’m living for,

I still think about you,
I still dream about you,
I still want you and need you by my side,
I’m still mad about you,
All I ever wanted was you,
You're still the one, you're still the one,

It’s hard to breathe when we’re apart,
You’re that sunshine in my heart,
I keep you here inside,
You’ve been everything to me,
You have been and always will be,
The apple of my eye,
And I know it’s hard to believe,
You're still the biggest part of me,
All I’m living for,

I still think about you,
I still dream about you,
I still want you and need you by my side,
I’m still mad about you,
All I ever wanted was you,
You're still the one, you're still the one,

If you love me, look into my eyes and say you do,
I’ve been waiting all my life for someone just like you,
Baby after all we’ve been through,
Girl I’m still in love with you,
And I want you to know, I do, I do,

Still think about you,
Still dream about you,
Still want you and need you by my side,
I’m still mad about you,
All I ever wanted was you,
You're still the one,

Your still the one.

SOMETIMES LETTING GO…
***************************************************************

I don’t know why but the memories of her came back to me today, bringing with them that smile I loved, the lines of her body and that little crease in her brow when she got angry or excited.

It seems now that she was such a big part of my life for so long and then all of a sudden she was gone and I haven't seen her in such a long time but still my memories of her come back to me when I least expect them to.

I suppose to her it was a brief ripple in time about which I am positive she never spares a passing thought.

Time, for me, has faded certain details about her, but others remain as clear as a reflection in a mirror and just as sharp and painful as the jagged glass that cuts when the mirror is shattered.

I can no longer call up so readily all of those details of her face that I had seared into my memory.

Was that dimple when she smiled on her left cheek or the right?

Did she tilt her head to the left or right when she was thoughtful?

Were her eyes hazel or brown?

What I do remember is the way I felt when she walked into a room, how my heart would break when she left it.

She told me time and time again that she cared for me as a person in general and that I was a really sweet guy, but that she just couldn't see the future between us I wished so desperately she would.

Too many times I picked up the pieces of my shattered heart and crawled away until I couldn’t stand the pain any more and one day just walked away.

I won't lie to you now and say that I don't miss her still.

No matter how many times one tries to glue a heart back together it never does come out the way it was before it broke.

It's strange how the heart tries to mend but still leaves the scar of what it has endured.

Maybe that's the best kind of heart, the one with the battle scars to show where it has been, what it has lost and gained and lost again.

The heart that knows sorrow also knows what it can survive, what it needs to keep dear forever, and when it needs to let go.
