Why You and I?
A poem about two souls drawn together by love, wondering why they belong to each other—and realizing it was always meant to be.
Have you ever thought, why you and I?
For I know, I need your love, that is why
just as I need to breathe, eat
and make my heart beat
I need your love baby,
That is why!
Have you ever thought, how time flies,
we gravitate, everything else still, that is why
time freezes for idle minds,
my mind, with you around,
sparkles a trillion times,
like stars in night skies,
that is why!
Have you ever thought, how we are emotionally tied,
for my happiness, is when you are, that is why
but your tears, tear my heart,
your pains, fail my calm,
your wins, feel my wins too,
every feeling it comes through,
that is why!
Baby with you let me stay,
as we grow old, and some day,
you think why you and I,
our love will feel this way!
‘Cause I believe, this is how it’s meant to be.
You and I, forever, just you and me.
Do you feel it too,
this love, the way i do?
Have you ever thought, why you and I?
For I know, I need your love, that is why
just as I need to breathe, eat
and make my heart beat
I need your love baby,
That is why!
