Why can't,,,
by Kyleen  Ogbonnah

Before you sent me on my way that night
You whispered in my ear
?You will make some guy very lucky?
Why can?t that lucky guy be you, I cried to myself

I saw you hold on to her forever that night
Not wanting to let her go...I could see the love
Why can?t that person be me, I cried to myself

I saw the poems and letters you wrote to her
How much you loved her more than me
Why can?t I be the one you love so much, I cried to myself

She is now your new best friend for life
She has leaped into your arms for comfort
Why can?t I be the one that you comfort, I cried to myself

She understands what you are about
She gives you what you need in your weak moments
Why can?t I be that person that helps you back on your feet, I cried to myself

?There is something that brings us back to each other.?
Still believe in that, I should as you
Why can?t you see that you need to put both feet forward, I cried to myself

?Things happen for a reason?
Yes I do believe so the way things are turning out now
Why can?t I be your special person, I cried to myself

I still think about you
I can?t get you off my mind
Why can?t I be the one that you can?t get off your mind, I cried to myself

Do you ever sit in your room and think of me?
Do you feel like you can?t live without me?
Why do you seem like you can live without me, I cried to myself

?I love you to the moon and back?
Do you mean it when you say this to me?
Why do you have to say things and then go away, I cried to myself

I can?t hold on forever, but I don?t want to let go
But I can?t hold on if there in no one there to hold me up
Why can?t you just love me and only me, I CRY to myself
