The reason for love


We fight and break up,

I cry and think to myself

Why? How come?

A few days go by and nothing.

Still sick I feel the urges,

Scared of what they're from

The doctor confirms it.

I lay my head in my hands and

cry and think to myself

Why? How come?

Two days pass and her i am

in the ER with pain,

they call my name,

they run a test,

results come back.

How could you?

They say no worries

a pill is all it takes

it cant hurt the fetus

but let's check it out anyways.

They turn the machine on,

and say "oh"

Oh? is all I think

He looks up and says,

congrats there's two!

I cry and think to myself

Why? How come?

3 years pass by and

all i see are smiles,

all i hear is laughter,

all i feel is love.

Now i don't cry,

I think to myself

Now I know why?

Now I know how come!
