-Why Can't He?-

Nightcloud

Why can't he see

That we were meant to be?

Why can't he smile

Instead of treat me like his rival?

Why can't he swoon and sigh

When I pass by?

Why can't he think of me

And everything we could be?

Why can't he look at our son who tries

Instead of thinking with the leaf his heart lies?

Why can't he see

It isn't just a conspiracy?

Why can't I be the one to fill his dreams?

No matter how hard I try, we're unraveling from the makeshift seams

Why can't loving me

Be a reality?

But inside I know he still loves that leaf

And now I'm just waiting for him to leave
