Still you remained my home

I do not want to open my door while I am still building my home

To watch someone outside in my window, smiling at me like you used to wear;

To greet her with the same endearment that we called each other.

I do not want to meet a new stranger and promise a room in my heart when all the spaces inside me still bears your name.

When your pictures are still filed on my gallery;

When my earphones play the same set of songs we used to listen

When I still love you.
