Still

[silvergreen]

I'’d still

I'd still give up everything I have if you'll take me with you,
I'd still give up my life and all that is means for you,
Call me insane, call me ungrateful to my life, call me whatever you want to,
Yet, I'd still give up all what I am just to be with you.

My life so far has been meaningless,
I do know that, even less...
You invaded my life with your smile and kindness,
Your exquisite black eyes looking at me,
By your side is the place where I need to be

As if I have walked blind so far through my life,
As if you have never left my soul and my mind...
It’s just so hard to give up something you've never had,
It’s hard to understand why it makes me sad ...

But,
Call me insane, call me ungrateful to my life, call me whatever you want to,
Yet, I'd still give up all what I am just to be with you .

Beautiful sweep through melancholy, silvergreen.

Thank you, mat james.

It is inspired from a certain experience of my own, a special once in a lifetime event.
Years ago...

[mat james]

Can you tell us more about that event?
or would that ruin the poem/memory?

Mat.
