Why Can'T I... Poem by Anabel Anguiano

I remember him staring at me with those sweet eyes,
and I'd wonder, why can't I stare you the same way?
Without being able to held his gaze I stared down.

I remember him holding my hand, his sweet touch,
and I'd wonder, why can't I hold you like that?
Loving his warmth I stayed still inside his arms.

I remember his brightful, sweet smile of his,
and I'd wonder, why can't I love you?

If he is everything I want...
everything I wish for...

Now it pains my heart to know I caused his tears, salty crystal rocks...

Would you ever forgive me for loving you and yet denying this love?
