Why?

I don’t know how it happened.
I can’t believe it’s true.
The two of us, so unalike,
And yet our friendship grew.

God knew that I was drowning,
In despair and out of hope,
And so He introduced us,
Knowing well I’d grab the rope.

And when I saw you coming,
Felt the pounding in my chest,
I knew that I was helpless.
I could barley catch my breath.

Life played a dirty trick on me,
And it’s destined to get worse.
It offered me a sip of love,
But refused to quench my thirst.

Why did He let me hold you,
And feel your eager touch,
And lead me to lie beside you,
In the warmth I craved so much?

Who am I going to laugh with?
Who will share my thoughts?
How will I keep from drowning
In the anguish of my loss?

I don’t know how it happened.
I can’t think what to do,
The two of us, so unalike,
But God knows, I love you.
