Bernadeth Tolentino - Why/My Explanation

You cry and hurt and yet you say you're fine.
I know I'm to blame for every single sigh.
So why am I still here? Why do you hold me close?
Are you worried that I'll wilt, like the single white rose?
Tell me the truth. I can take it.
What I cant handle though, is if you fake it.
----
If I didn't love you I wouldn't tell you every night
All of those letters-I wouldn't really write
I'm not worried your petals will wilt
It's just my heart I'm scared to kill....

When your not around, I lose sight of life
You're my happiness and soon to be wife
So don't talk like that, my princess
Hold onto every moment
Because right now I love you
and I'm willing to do everything to show it.

Bernadeth Tolentino
