Why



Why me?
Why I have to be the one to bear his pain?
Why I have to be the one to scream his name?
Is it some kind of a mystery to me
The man I love, soon........... my husband to be.
Every passing minute, every step of the way,
He said his love is strong,
but yet still I feel his love is leading to a stray.
Talking to me when he feels like,
that really bugs me out,
although he said,
his love will always shine without a doubt.
Ask me no questions, I tell no lie,
If something happens to him,
I probably would die.
Telling him that it was over, what was I thinking,
I don't know why,
I'm still asking the question,
please tell me the reason why?
