Why me? Why this?
Why now? Why you?
I thought that I could handle this,
I convinced myself it must be true.

These feelings for you
are not as they seem.
So sit back, relax,
I'm coming clean.

I don't feel the way
as they say I do.
My feelings are different,
my feelings towards you.

I want to be there
for now and forever.
I hope I can do that,
not rarely or never.

I wish to help you
in this puzzling instance.
As you learn about yourself,
and travel the distance.

To find yourself
is not an easy task.
But you can't spend your life
hiding behind a mask.

I don't want you
to end up in strife,
as I was for 16 years
hiding from Life.

That's why these feelings
are as strong as they are.
I've been there, done that,
and it took me far.

Why me? Why this?
Why now? Why you?
I just want to help,
This I know to be true.
