Love Poem: Why

Why

Sitting alone with the stars at night, all memories come into play;
Wanting something that feels so right, but pushing it all away.
Unspoken words that I should have said, telling myself I am fine;
Erasing thoughts out of my head, to keep you from my mind.

Why don't I ever let my true feelings show?
Why can't my heart let you go?
Why I can't say I will?
But in the end, I love you still.

The fairytale life every little girl dreams of;
Someone they trust and will cherish their love.
Who stayed after heartbreak, pain and tears;
A love for all times, that will last through the years.

You are not the man I thought I would fall for;
A true personality, so confident and sure.
I have to thank you for the lessons you taught me;
But even now, I know its not meant to be. 

So why I still can't let my true feelings show?
Why am I so relieved to let this go?
Why I say I won't, but have all the will?
Because in the end, I love you still.

Changes seem like a lifetime away;
A journey that stops, but you want it to stay.
Tonight hold me close, just one last kiss;
Then drive off knowing, its you I will miss.

Now I finally let my true feelings show.
How I am able to let you go.
Through the tears, pain, fight and will.
Why the love is gone, but I remain still.
