Why?

Laying in the dark,
Looking at the night sky,
I find myself
Asking "why?"

"Why did I have you in my grasp
And let you go?"
"Why did I not realize
Before you walked out that door? "

Then I start to think "I had to lose you
In order to know we were right,"
But still, I lay here and regret
That I let you out of my sight.

Not only did I have to realize,
You do too.
One day you'll realize like I did,
And you'll see I'm supposed to be with you.

This is why I lay here.
It helps me see things why they are.
So until you come back to me,
I'll be here looking at the stars.
