Bodhi-Bowl’s “Still I Love You” is a quiet, luminous exploration of a love that releases rather than holds on. Inspired by the legendary devotion of Princess Yashodhara to Prince Siddhartha, the song transforms an ancient story of heartbreak into a modern, soulful hymn to selfless grace.
With its aching yet gentle verses, the track captures the quiet distance of a partner turning toward a higher calling. The profound chorus redefines the very nature of devotion—love not as possession, but as a courageous blessing of another’s path, even when it leads away. Here, to let go is not to fail, but the ultimate, graceful act of love. “Still I Love You” is a ballad of profound strength found in surrender, a reminder that the truest love sometimes speaks loudest in a whisper of farewell.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
You’ve been standing a little farther now
Like you’re already halfway gone
But, nothing seems broken in our days
Yet, we woke up feeling further away.
(Pre-Chorus)
I won’t ask you to explain
Some things don’t need a name
(Chorus)
Still, I love you,
& I always will.
Not the kind that wants you to stand still.
If your life is calling you,
I won’t stand in front of you…
Still, I love you.
That’s the truth.
Even if I’m not the one you choose.
I let you go, I let you move.
Still, I love you
(Post-Chorus Hook)
Still, I love you… love you…
(Verse 2)
We were real, we were right back then.
I don’t doubt what we had was true.
But holding on when it’s time to bend,
Would turn love into something new.
(Pre-Chorus)
I won’t make this heavy now,
Love knows when to bow.
(Chorus)
Still, I love you,
& I always will.
Not the kind that wants you to stand still.
If your life is calling you,
I won’t stand in front of you
Still, I love you,
That’s the truth.
Even if I’m not the one you choose.
I let you go, I let you move
Still, I love you….
(Post-Chorus)
Still, I love you…
(Bridge)
If someday you look back here,
Know I never closed the door.
I just learned to love you clear, without asking for more
(Final Chorus)
Still, I love you,
& I always will.
Not the kind that wants you to stand still.
If your life is calling you,
I won’t stand in front of you
Still, I love you,
That’s the truth.
Even when loving means I lose.
I let you go, I let you move
Still, I love you….
(Outro)
Still, I love you…
Still, I love you…
