Why?

 

After all these years,

my feelings for you have only increased.

All the many tears

and emotions that never ceased.

 

You were my first.

Yes, I know

I broke your heart and now it seems I’m cursed

with a love that only I show.

 

I’m deeply in love with you.

It’s been four years,

and I already gave you a cue,

but my confession didn’t shift any gears.

 

Why must you do this to me?

All you said was that you didn’t know;

that gave me hope you see,

but your actions seem colder than snow.

 

I miss you so much.

I’m not dumb,

and you have a grudge

that makes your heart be numb. 

 

Please open your eyes,

or be mean.

After all, you don’t have to be nice;

just tell me the truth

 

My family reminds me of you all the time.

They expect us to end up together some day.

I don’t have the guts to tell them you’re not mine

because I know what they’ll say.

 

They won’t understand me.

They’ll call you a jerk.

They just won’t see

that I am to blame for this work. 

 

For now I’ll just keep being patient. 

God knows what He’s doing,

And I shall not question Him

For He is all-knowing.

 

Maybe we’re just not meant to be

Maybe God has someone else that will be good to me

All of this, will be revealed

At His time and His will.
