Why?

Why, when I see you, does my heart beat so fast?
Why do I want this feeling to last?
Why do I hurt so when you are away?
Why oh why do I feel this way?!

Why does one look at your face make me cry?
Why, if you said "jump", would I say "how high?"
Why is this jealousy so hard to shift?
Why does denial always spout from my lips?

I want you to be happy in every way,
But why does uncertainty come in to play?

Why do I want you to kiss me goodnight?
Why do I want to feel you hold me tight?
Why has it taken me oh so long
to realise my feelings for you are this strong?!

Why are you ever so hard to forget?
Why do I love someone I've never met?

Now I know why I feel like this -
Why I, for you, would take any risk -
It's all because you were born to be loved.
And a man such as you should be understood
by those who deny you can do any good
as someone who's being all that they can be.

It may take a while, but one day they'll see
Just why,
oh why,
you are so loved by me.
