Why Did You? 060303

Why did you have to smile?

Why did you have to have

that light in your eyes

that red glint in your hair

that glow on your skin?

Why did you have to look at me

And why did you have to laugh

that carefree, open laugh that

told me you felt I understood.

Why did you have to call my name?

Why did you touch my cheek,

with that half-smile on your lips

and a question in your gaze?

Why did you have to respond to my

Complaint of cold

By taking my hand?

Why did you choose

to open up to me

to share your history with me

to call me more than

"just" a friend?

Why did you have to tell me

you trust me?

Why did I have to fall in love?
