So Why Should I? Poem by Jessie Ilagan

What can I do my eyes sees only you?
Even in my dreams there was always you
Now tell me what's the right thing to do?
If my heart beats for someone like you?

Should I forget those sweet memories?
Those feelings we had everytime we kiss
Your stare to me that weakens my knees
And your sweet smile that makes my world freeze

Should I tell myself that I am not longing?
'Coz if truth be told I was always dreaming
And when I wake up each and every morning
I feel so lonely as if my heart is breaking

Should I tell my heart to put away the passion?
Make myself believe it's just an illusion
Convince my heart you never had my affection
And you're not the one in my imagination

Should I tell my mind not to think of you?
Stop wondering if you have someone new
'Coz now that we're apart I'm feeling so blue
And I'm asking myself if you are missing me too?

Should I fool my heart it's fine being without you?
And tell the world my feelings is not true
Or should I pretend I'm not crazy for you
But why should I when I'm so in love with you?
