I don’t know why things happen
And the waiting list for heaven
Reads like a catalog of the mismatched lovers
We always shared with one another.
I don’t know what makes this sky gray
As these nights fade into days
As the irresistible sound of their passing
Rushes through the light they’re casting.
I don’t know what makes the earth turn
As there is so much I have yet to learn,
And this world is so very vast
And so little ever truly lasts.
I don’t know how stars ever came to be
And I don’t know why you came to me
But I do know that I love you
And while this world may be vast,
There are some things that do last.
