Why
Gregory S maynard 1966 (Usa)
Why do you not see me anymore.
I stand here waiting at the door.
I look forever hoping to find a lost like ve I left behind.
Searching hi and searching low.
I'm beginning to question how far can I go.
Why do you tease me and taunt me so.
I see you in everything as the older I grow.
Why can't I hold you like I want to so much.
Hoping and praying for your kind gentle touch.
Why can't you see me what has you blind.
Knowing inside you like others and are just being kind.
Why can't I have you in everything that I do.
Loving from a distance and feeling very blue.
Why am I trying to give you my love.
Fueled by a fire inside from above.
I'm caring so much it hurts deep inside this is true.
Why can't I just say it and tell you I love you
