Why

Oh how much I need you, how much I want you, why can't I have you?
It kills me painfully, each day thinking how we could be, but I know that's not 
likely, oh how I wish that it could be possible.
Looking at you and your graceful beauty, just makes my mind gray.
I lose myself in your eyes, losing conscience of my mind. I can't think, all I can do 
is wish to be with you.
Your words mean everything to me, but I just can't stand the fact that I can't tell 
you that I love you.
I need you, I want you, yet I can't have you. Why do I torture myself thinking that 
there still might be a chance.
Looking at you, into your eyes makes me go blind.
Oh, I want to be with you. I need you. Doesn't seem I could live without you. Odd, 
I'm doing this everyday. I'm killing myself suffering great pain, why won't I just die?
Why do I believe that you still love me?Oh, why can't I go on? 
Why must I think we still have a chance?Why won't I just let go, quit torturing 
myself. 
Why won't I just quit loving you? Why can't things be simple to me?
