Why do I ask,
these questions of mine?
Is there a purpose,
or a feeling divine?
How are you?
Where are you?
What to do?
Now that i'm a man,
I do what I can!
Where have you been?
Now, and even then?
I just want to know.
Why, you didn't show?
You say you love me,
how can that be?
You have always been there,
never here to care!!
These words that I speak.
The true meaning,
you should seek

I can't even begin to imagine how emotioanlly insane that would be, to not know him, then find him, and not shoot him dead when I see him for the first time. This is definitely one of the things that will make you stronger and makes you who you are. Awesome babe.
love,
