Please Understand Why
by Tyleen Caffrey
My heart is racing, my
body’s shaking
and I can’t explain why.
I knew this time would come someday
Why am I nervous, why am I shy?
Patiently waiting, my
heart always aching
A secret kept so deep inside
So many nights crying myself to sleep
Staring at the ceiling, wondering why.
So confused,
overwhelmed and afraid
I step back into time,
Nowhere to go, no one to turn to
A decision forced to make
Please understand why.
I pray you’re not mad
And that you understand,
So young and scared
Please know that I tried.
Know that I have
always loved you
There has never been a day go by,
That I didn’t think about you
You have always been on my mind.
The door is now
opened,
No turning back time
I stand with arms wide open
Full body, soul and mind.
Our reunion is near,
Pains ache as I think
Will you still love me
When we meet?
So I patiently wait,
For a call to reunite
So we can talk
And no more wondering why.
