I Wonder Why

I wonder why? Thinking about you, always makes me feel like I want to cry I wonder why you had to go, you had to leave so suddenly You were gone in a flash, never even said to me, goodbye Was it something I said, or something that I did wrong? You always said we'll work it out, that our love was strong but without you I'm so weak, I need you here beside me! I guess you lied to me, seems, you never loved me all along It's a mystery to me, I guess I'll never know the reason why! John Derek Hamilton October 25,2016
