How Can We

How can we
kiss another
but
love each other.
How can we
laugh
with another
but
cry for each other.
When she is gone
I'm the one you run to.
That shouldn't be.
Why can't I be free?
You are the noose around my neck.
I should stop thinking about thee.
Here soon we shall never see again.
Does that greave thee 
as it grieves me.
It shouldn't greave me.
But sometimes when he leaves me alone
it does.
His family talks of wedding rings.
I hope to marry him,
but first I have to wash my hands
free of thee. 
After 3 years of loving thee,
it's hard to think of a life without thee.
Does it greave you
as it grieves me?
