Why Can't I?

Why Can't I?

A Poem by Nelyn Salvaleon

Why can't I get you out of my head?
Is it because my heart doesn't stop shouting your name?
Why can't I sleep without dreaming of you holding my hand?
Is it because I always think of you day and night?
Why can't I sing of love songs without thinking of you?
Is it because I love imagining impossible things like you like me too?

Why can't I stop calling your name when nobody's listening?
Is it because I'm insane?
Why can't I stop this feeling I'm feeling right now?
Is it because my heart is falling for you?
Why can't I stop wishing you were thinking of me too?
Is it because I'm deeply in love with you?

Why can't I stop pretending I'm alright when I see you with her?
Is it because I don't want anybody see me wishing you were mine?
Why can't I tell you about this feeling I feel for you?
Is it because I have no plan of taking you away from her?
Why can't I find the one who can love me like how you love her?
Is it because I'm destined to be single forever?
