Why

Oh how much I need you, how much I want you, why can't I have you? It kills me painfully, each day thinking how we could be, but I know that's not likely, oh how I wish that it could be possible. Looking at you and your graceful beauty, just makes my mind gray. I lose myself in your eyes, losing conscience of my mind. I can't think, all I can do is wish to be with you. Your words mean everything to me, but I just can't stand the fact that I can't tell you that I love you. I need you, I want you, yet I can't have you. Why do I torture myself thinking that there still might be a chance. Looking at you, into your eyes makes me go blind. Oh, I want to be with you. I need you. Doesn't seem I could live without you. Odd, I'm doing this everyday. I'm killing myself suffering great pain, why won't I just die? Why do I believe that you still love me?Oh, why can't I go on? Why must I think we still have a chance?Why won't I just let go, quit torturing myself. Why won't I just quit loving you? Why can't things be simple to me?
