Because You’re Still Looking at Me 💖

A poem of love, distance, and the ache of farewell

By Shazzed Hossain ShajalPublished 12 months ago • 1 min read
Under the same rain, two hearts still walk apart

Each evening, by the window of my dreams,

I long to see your honey-sweet face once more.

Because your eyes still hold my name,

My heart overflows — endlessly, silently.

Line after line, I draw your image again and again,

Until my soul forgets where I end and you begin.

Rain has fallen in your city tonight,

And the water rests upon your windowpane.

A thousand quiet sorrows wrap around my heart,

Yet still — I keep loving you in between the pain.

Because you’re still looking at me,

I drift through the city of dreams.

Every time I try to turn away,

I find myself watching you again.

I want to lose myself

Along these winding roads,

Among the unknown crowd,

In the wild wind and restless rain.

Smiles and laughter fill this heart of mine,

Yet somehow, I keep fading away inside.

Because you’re still looking at me —

Still, I drift through waves of sorrow,

And in their hush,

I whisper my last goodbye.
