Why you

I knew I'd love one day

Had my own description

Imagining that soul

A face I wanted 

In the palm of my hands

I knew the type of skin

The complexion I preferred

That soul was alive

In my mind I was certain 

No one told me about you

Not even God 

In my dreams I knew that soul

But you came along

Then why you ?

I had no choice at your arrival

You came with wind

Floated straight into my heart

A resident you became

With you today I reside

Why you ?

When I get mad I wonder

Where is that soul 

Can love be so complicated

Loving you was no option

I fell straight to the ground

Flat on my face 

Hard as it rock I know It wasn't you

But still I love you

But why you ?

I knew that person 

Wonder what happened 

When I met you I still loved

Awaiting for that person 

Like clouds everyday they perished

Was I crazy ? I don't know

That soul I knew 

It was not you but I love you now

Will never forget that soul

In my mind I still wonder

Was it you but no it was not you

Wonder what happened

Would I meet them one day

Do that soul even exist 

I wonder everyday

Loving you was no option 

But that perfect soul in my mind 

I'll keep waiting for you

That soul I first loved

Why you though?
