Why do we long?

Why do we long?

It is the love-lorn that long
For the touch of a loving hand.
But the first to say "nay"
When it might truely appear.

Why should we love?

It is the love-lorn that look
Upon the lovers on the walk,
And say to themselves, "What is there
to keep two together?"

Why must we love?

It is the love-lorn that sit
And stew on the lack of love
Only to deny the need,
Even when it is obvious.

Why won't I love?

It is the love-lorn that look
At the relations of the past,
And realize what it was
That made them love-lorn in the first place.

Why do I long?
