still

I can still feel the hope,
  the love, the security...
that I felt when you
  reminded me again
  that you love me...

and my heart is still
filled - overflowing
with all the lovely peace
  that took over my
  insecurities...
with all the fiery passion
  that consumed me
  and destroyed my
  depression...
with all the lovely things
  you've sown in me
  you've grown in me

and my mind is still consumed
  with the beauty of your smile...
  with the depth of your kindness...
and my mind is still consumed
  with a desire to be with you...
  to feel the soft embrace of
    that smile on your face...
