Still... Poem by Sureshni Jayawardana

You wanted me;
But for what reason
I still don’t know.
I wanted you;
In mind, body and soul.
But in my eyes you never did see
How much you ever meant to me.

Now we meet again, at cross-purposes
And you still can’t see what I’ve lost;
What I’ve been missing.
The shine in my eyes are lost forever
But ‘you’ my stranger never lose heart
‘Coz I was just a doll in your eyes.
I lost love, for you it was just time.

You’re no one to me but a mere mortal
Came into my life like a hurricane
Taking the only thing I possessed.
And I like a fool did nothing
Except love you.
The memories will never wash away
‘Coz no matter how much I should hate you
I still love you
In my own, crazy way.
