Why Did We Anyway
Why did we anyway?
Never thought id write a poem for you
Walking from the guest house in the pouring rain
Just to get to share a drink
You wouldn’t have walked if you hadn’t wanted to
You could have called and just said I can’t make it.
Time just seemed to fly when we were together
Conversation never seemed to stop it just happened
So what happened why did you do it?
We both knew it was wrong
I should have said no, you should have said no
So why did we anyway?
You made me fall hard, you made it harder still to forget
Nothing will compare to what we had
Like teenagers on a first date
It was always like that, electricity in the air
Something smouldered and burst into flame
We both got burned
We flew too close to the sun and died
Falling from the sky to our death below
Years ago now but still like yesterday
You made me feel alive
I looked forward to each day
So why did you do what you did?
Just answer me that!
So what happened why did you do it?
We both knew it was wrong
I should have said no, you should have said no
So why did we anyway?
Did you just forget and cast away what you loved most?
Or was it all just a pretence?
Just a snare to catch forbidden fruit
Why did you take the apple, why did you share your heart with me?
Did you hurt as much as I did?
Just tell me, why did you??
Has the laughter in your eyes died too?
Do your eyes reflect your pain like mine?
Just a dull reflection of what used to be.
So walk on, go, you know you have to…….
We both knew it was wrong
I should have said no, you should have said no
So why did we anyway?
