Why you didn't tell me honey? <br />That, that was a kiss <br />And a goodbye. <br /> <br />Why you didn't tell me babe? <br />That you were leaving for good, <br />That the tears i cried <br />Were just the begining of floods. <br />Why babe? <br /> <br />If i knew it was our last goodbye, <br />If i knew that was our last kiss, <br />If i knew that, <br />That the taxi was taking <br />You away from me. <br />I was gona ask you, WHY? <br /> <br />After all those promises you made, <br />After all those memorable moments, <br />After all those kisses and hugs, <br />After all the love i showered you with. <br />Why honey? <br />Why? <br /> <br />I vividly remember that friday morning, <br />The sun was bright and the air was fresh. <br />Birds were flying peacefully. <br />Butterflies were flying from <br />One flower to the other, in pairs. <br />It was beautiful, <br />It was a beautiful morning <br /> <br />I built castles in the air <br />You destroyed them with your absence. <br /> <br />I still remember your smile <br />That used to my knees weak. <br />I still remember that look.... <br />Oh! babe why? <br /> <br />Why you didn't tell me that, <br />Tomorrow was not gona <br />Find you where yesterday left you? <br /> <br />That tomorrow you'll be singing <br />A different tune. <br /> <br />That my love, was <br />Not love enough for you. <br />Why? <br /> <br />I regret planning my life <br />Around what i thought was <br />A rock, only to realize later, <br />It was just a hip of sand <br />That water washed away easily. <br /> <br />My eyes keep looking back, <br />Looking for that beautiful flower <br />They saw yesterday.<br /><br />Siyabonga A Nxumalo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-1198/
