Still Unstill

I still need to see you.

I still need to breathe the same air as you
In the same spaces as you
In the same moments as you.

Perhaps there are greater things in life
Than love,
Or perhaps it is the greatest thing of all;
I do not know.

I only know you
In this moment,
And you,
For all you are,
For all you are not,
In good and bad, in bitterness and joy,
You are my love,
My joy,
My happiness;
You are the coveted one
The misunderstood one
The only one.

Don’t tell me I should go elsewhere
When I only want you.
Don’t tell me I must stop wanting
When all there is, is you.
Don’t tell me I must display what I value
When what I value is you.

Don’t tell me who I am
When who I am is yours,
When who I am is me,
When who I desire is you.

If I am left alone,
I am still yours.
If I am pursued by a hundred men,
Loved by a million more,
I will appreciate all the love,
And be forever for you.
