Have you ever really wondered
why we live the way we do
why we place importance
on silly things like pride
even when they cost us love
even when they cost us each other
and why is it so easy to say all of the wrong things
when the words that are needed to fix us are always so elusive
have you ever really wondered
why you never realise what it is that you want
until you cannot have it
and why is it that the people who are so easy to love
never seem hold your heart
do you ever ask yourself the tough questions
like why we still continue to put ourselves out there
only to meet pain
or why you never seem to be the one
why we meet thousands of people that we distain
and a mere few that hold significance in our lives
do you ever really wonder why we love at all
why we try and find ourselves mirrored in another
a soul to be our mate
I used to wonder
why we live the way we do
why we love at all
until I met you
and everything became clear
I used to wonder
but now I know the answer
without love what else is there
