When you see that haunted look on my face

please don't ask why

When tears flow down my face,

I could be ecstatic or sad but don't ask

Don't ask why I stay in a futile relationship,

I beg you to understand my reason for patience,

Please don't make me feel ashamed, for not taking chances

The least you could do, is to turn away

I've learned through the years, it's better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all

So please don't ask why I take my time so

And give all the leeway, please don't ask me to give up

for that's the strength of character I do possess
