Please Don'T Ask Me To Explain Poem by Ray Hansell

I'll paint you a rainbow
Across the sky
I'll stay with you
Until your tears are dry

I'll play you some music
Nice and slow
I'll tell you things
That you don't know

I can tell you
Just about anything
I'll tell you stories
Of where I've been

I'll tell you about the people
That I met
I'll tell you things
But then yet

Please don't ask me
To explain love
It's more confusing
Then the heavens above

It comes and goes
At times quite fast
Many people wonder why
Love never seems to last

People meet, fall in love
Then they say, I do
But before they know it
The love they shared is through

Two people once again
Have tried and they failed
They though that together
Through life they would sail

But today finds them
So far apart
Both of them live
With an unhealed heart

Love is something
Very difficult to keep
When two people lose it
Someone is going to weep

It can't be touched
It can't be owned
But when you're in it
You know you're home
