Still The One Poem by Olawale Oluwole

You are still the one I dream of,
I remember the day I found you
When words could no longer carry feelings,
And only the moon and stars above
Watched over my silent heart.

When rain would fall upon the lawn,
My heart would reach to where you are.
And every time I see your picture,
Every moment aches once more.
Yes, only when the dawn breaks bright,
Do I recall the truth of love.

Is there still love between us?
You once whispered my name so softly,
While shadows ruled the day.
You told the world of tender feelings,
Yet never how they burned within.

I was no poet, nor schooled in love,
But my ocean was born the day
You rested upon my heart.
My sea dreamed of your beauty,
Of the spark that danced in your eyes
Yet you turned away, without a word,
Leaving an old soul to whisper your name.

Tell me, my love,
Can you still be the one?
