Chapter Text
Why me?
You ask, and fair question.
In a question of what is fair,
The measure of good and bad,
You’ll ask why?
Because you smiled
Where others frowned.
Because not understanding
Was not a disadvantage
But an opportunity.
Why me?
You ask of the opportunity.
Well,
Why do you seek?
What do you seek?
Who do you seek?
What does anyone?
We all seek something,
Someone.
Longing for someone.
Longing to seek them out.
She has a star in her eye,
That girl you seek.
She wants to leave,
You’ll go with her.
You’ll follow her.
She follows you.
Across time, across the world, across the stars -
She follows you.
She won’t leave without you,
She won’t leave.
Why me? You asked.
It’s because you care, because you smiled,
Because you took the time to be better,
To look at yourself
At what you wanted
And went for it.
You always did want to go to that university.
She follows you,
Longing,
Until you let her go.
Let her go,
The girl with stars in her eyes,
Who chased you across the stars,
To be with you.
Let me have happy dreams for once,
For once, you said.
You cry, tears not your own.
You want to remember this.
Why me? You’ll ask afterwards,
Because you’ll get an afterwards.
Because you asked
To have something better.
