I Love You Still
I can't tell you what to do. I can't make you love me again. I still love you more than anyone, save our son, but you have someone else now. You have... him.
I watched you at work today, smiling sweetly at him when he stopped at your desk to see if you needed anything, to ask how you were doing on your article. The adoration in your eyes twinkled so brightly. You love him. I know that. You've loved him for a long time.
Still... If only I could make you see how much I still love you. If only I could take your love back, claim what's mine.
But I can't. I can't tell you what to do. I can't tell you who to love, or how much. I can't make you come back to me.
And yet... I love you still...
