“Why”

You don’t want to know me
You don’t want to be in my life
What have I done
To make you hate me so much
All I ever wanted was for us to be close
For you to be in my life in some way
To be someone I can talk to
Someone I could turn to for advice
But the only thing you ever gave me is a cold shoulder
When I saw you for the first time
I hoped we could put the past behind us
I hoped we could move forward
I had no idea this was the last time I would see you
Because just as soon as you came
You turned away
You left me
You never looked back
All ever wanted was to love you
All I ever needed was for you to love me
I never asked you for anything but your love
And you can’t even do that much for me
Why?
Why is it that the son in me still needs his father
But the father in you doesn’t want his son?
