Why Love

Why, love?

Why did we bother to try love?

Why did we foolishly stop to say hello

Instead of going our way?

But your heart was free

And mine was on my sleeve

Were we brave, or were we just naïve?

So tell me why, love

When all things end in goodbye, love

Why did we dream that this fate would not be ours

When even stars up above

Ask where their glow went?

Love lasts one moment

And then that final task:

To sigh and ask

"Why love?"
