Don't Know Why

Same guy, same "relationship". He never even cried,  and this just proves that I can be an absolute drama queen when it comes to my feelings and poetry. It embarrasses me so much now.

 

I don’t know why

You act so glum,

When your girlfriend

Is standing there

Beside you;

I don’t know why

You sit and cry

With your head resting

In your hands,

As if something’s really wrong,

But I know there isn’t,

‘Cause I’ve seen you

With her before,

You smiling and laughing

As happy as can be;

I don’t know why

You tease me and flirt,

As if it were the days

Of old,

When we were still together,

As if nothing else has changed,

But frankly,

Everything between us,

Around us,

And plain old everything

Has changed drastically,

In a matter of time;

I don’t know why

You still like to flirt with me,

Even though

You’re with her;

I don’t know why

I don’t know why,

But what I do know

Is that you’re still

In love

With me.
