QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

When I met him I wondered why the spark?

Why the glances without remark?

Why the longing passionate despair?

Why has the wanderer started to care?

When I watched him I wondered why the walls?

Why the tear that never falls?

Why the distant aloneness of youth?

And why do I now want to know the truth?

When I listened to his words I asked myself why?

Why do I fall when we'll soon say good-bye?

Why must I feel like I'm so brokenhearted?

And why is it over before it all started?

The answers are many but beyond my reach,

Love has a difficult lesson to teach,

The struggle to answer is what life's about,

Beyond the shadow of all of our doubt.
