Why do you love her?



Why why why
Why do you like me
Why do you want me

What do you see in my brown eyes
What do you feel in my porous skin
What do you need in my body

Why why why
Why can’t I see your want for me
Why can’t I be the girl you see

The girl whose big eyes stare into you so hard
The girls whose lips curl when you compliment her
The girls who hips fit perfectly into your hands

Why why why
Why can’t I see her
I want to be her
I need to be her
Because you love her

Why why why
Why can’t I see her
