Why Did You Do It?

Life can be a mystery,
With few answers in mind,
The path one follows,
Displays destiny, time after time.

Once I thought the reason I knew,
But today things have changed,
Between me and you.

It isn't because...
I didn't want to be there,
Nothing stopped me,
But simply because I do care.

I felt another emotion,
Not the anger you thought,
Your attention I gave up
Your time I no longer sought.

I miss our relationship,
Whispers and tears.
Sharing life's stories,
kisses and fears.

And as each year passes,
I remember you in my thoughts,
If only there were some answers
It is closure I have sought.
