Why did I have to like you?
you made me see
All that is unlikeable
surrounds me daily.
Why did I have to laugh
at all your silliness?
You made me see how much better
it is to laugh than to cry.
How you KNOW so damn much?
you made me see
Power and confidence in the never-ending
quest for knowledge.
Why are you so open to everything?
so ready to try and do it all?
You made me see what I've missed
my whole life through.
Why did I let you hold me all night?
hold me... or hold me back?
Or did I somehow hold you back?
(why did we make that stupid pact?!)
Why did you let me see
the "you" I could love?
When all you seem to want
is to be 'my friend'...?
Why do I crave so to know ALL of you?
the tenderness of your touch...
The sweetness of your unbridled passions...
the tears that fill your heart with sadness.
O Why did I find you, this mate of my soul--
only to know the pain
Of being without you, before I've had
the joy of being with you?
