WHY
She asked me.... WHY?
I had no answer!
Closing my eyes,
I racked my brain,
No, none found!

As I stood there clueless and lost
The softest of breezes did caress my face ,
As it slipped through my fingers, reminding me of him.

That's when I opened my eyes
And ,saw them
Sunflowers and bluebirds
Gay and alive,
Under the all-consuming sun.

And,
That's when I opened my eyes
To see them,
Black Ravens upon 'em leaves rotten
Dark and death-like,
Under the all-consuming sun.

I turned around and told her,
'Cause that's when I knew!
Yes, 'Cause that's when I knew,
How he was my sun.

That's how I knew,
How without him, I was blind,
Blind to all that there was,
Blind to all that there could be ,
To all that was bright ,
To all that was dark.

That's when I knew...WHY!
Love brings an intensity to our lives and our perspectives that we never had before. You start feeling things more strongly, even sometimes in a different light.You notice things you never noticed before and then you realise how you find in everything you see something of the person you love. Love brings out all the strong things inside us , sometimes things that we never knew existed , both the good and the bad. But ultimately real love's not about you getting better or worse , but making a stronger and clearer version and vision of the true you and the world, both with all the evil and the noble.
