Why Not Me?

A lost soul searching for its counter part Wandering aimlessly Hopelessly Amidst the heavy morning fog, I gaze out into what seems like an endless haze, just waiting. Waiting for my better half Wondering why not me? Countless romances ending in despair Excuse after excuse as to why our spirits arent meant to be It leaves me asking myself why? Leaves me wondering, Why not me? I've been told that chemistry is easy, but timing is the hard part But why is this so? If our paths cross and chemistry ensues how is this timing not right? How is this timing anything but perfect? For it takes perfect timing, perfect chemistry, and a perfect match for sparks to ignite So please do tell how our timing was nothing but perfect So really, Why not me? Poor timing is an age old excuse, but we have all the time in the world A whole life full For what is poor timing compared to an eternity? If I can find the patience to give to you then time will never be an issue For I can find patience for perfection I can find patience for you So now tell me, excuses set aside Tell me really, Why not me? Why won't you let me give you my all? Why won't you let love warm your heart? Why won't you let yourself be happy? Why not with me?

Not my best of favorite in my collection. I don't usually publish when I'm unsatissfied with my work, but today it just one of those days.
