Why Do I Still Love You?
You never loved me but I still smiled,
Living in a world where our love was exiled.
The emotion in your eyes just faded away,
Leaving me with nothing but memories to replay.

We walked together under the same sky,
As I held your hand and asked you why,
Why you stopped loving me in spite of my tries
But you just shrugged and averted your eyes.

I smiled even when it hurt so much,
Thinking maybe someday, we could re-touch,
Those moments when love felt so real,
And we cherished each other's lives to seal.

But time passed by and the pain remained,
As our love withered away like leaves in the rain.
I cried at night and pleaded with my heart,
To forget you and for a new love to start.

But my heart is stubborn and it still loves you,
Even when my mind tells me to find someone new.
I tried to move on, I really did,
But my heart always returned to where our love hid.

You never loved me, but I still do,
I don't know why, but it's true.
The thought of you and me still lingers,
Like a forgotten melody, playing in my fingers.

I wonder if you ever think of me,
Or if I was just another memory,
Of a love that faded away with time,
Leaving nothing but a twisted rhyme.

But I still remember the way you smiled,
And how your eyes lit up when you were beguiled,
By the beauty of the world that we shared,
When we walked together, a love that once flared.

I wish I could turn back the clock,
And bring our love back from the deadlock.
But life moves on, and so must I,
Even when I feel like screaming to the sky.

You never loved me, but I still smiled,
As I explored the world that we compiled.
But I walked alone, with a shattered heart,
And a soul that's been torn apart.

Why do I still love you, I cannot explain,
Even when my love was given in vain.
But my heart will always belong to you,
Even when I know it will never be true.

So I walk with a smile and a silent tear,
Knowing that love will always bring me near,
To a love that was once so pure,
A love that faded away in the obscure.

Why do I still love you, I cannot say,
Even when my heart still finds a way,
To hold on to a love that's long gone,
But in my heart, it still goes on.

You never loved me, but I still smiled,
As I walked away, from a love that's exiled.
A love that broke my heart in two,
But I still love you, I do.
