Why do I Love

June 11, 2018
By Anonymous

There are so many people on this planet I know

But only one is able to really hit home


There are so many people I can choose to love

But the one that I chose is all the way up


He lives on a mountain all mighty and fair

I am down here combing knots from my hair


It’s just so unfair how high up he lays

How low I feel basking in his rays


The sun is gone

As wrong as it is true


To love somebody

Who doesn’t love you


Why do I love somebody that high

Somebody who doesn’t come down from the sky


Somebody whose smile lights up your world

But only once in a while does it come through


I hate that I love him

I hate that I care


But there is something about him that I cannot bare

Maybe it’s the way he glides through the air


Why do you love him if he doesn’t love you

Maybe it’s because my love is true


Maybe loving somebody all comes from you

What you are going through is your own heart


Trying to decipher the wrong from the right

How far I will fall from such a height


Only determines how far I will climb

It will all be worth it in time


Loving him is like a boat to sea

One minute you’re floating, the next you’re free


I can’t help that I love him

I can’t help that I care


It all just isn’t fair

How can I love somebody who just doesn’t care


How can I love somebody who makes me stutter and blush

If he only sees me once in a rush


How can I love somebody with such a kind heart

Who confines himself to an unsteady rock   


I hate that I love him

I hate that I care


I hate having him stuck in my head

Maybe it’s the way in the summer his hair turns a light red


Maybe it’s because he’s as tall as a tree

Or maybe it’s because I know he will never love me


He can never hurt me

But when he talks to her my heart falls to my feet


My heart takes on a mind of its own when you are around

It’s like i’m running homebound


I hate that she loves you

I hate that she cares


I hate that you talk to her day to day

Like she is the princess and I am the maid


Why do I love why do I care

It’s all so unclear


Why do I love

When he doesn’t love me
