Anthony: Why!

By Anthony Nelson Nieves Cruz, Jr.

    Just sitting on my bed and saying, “Why!”

    Why did it take you so long to come to realize how much I want you and dig you? But I guess it’s just too late to ask why because I am tired of asking “why?”

    Why don’t you want me as much as I want you, man? I just wanna hold you, kiss you, love you, baby. Please, and all you do is just sit there and ask me why. And that leaves me sitting and just asking why, too!

    But baby, you shouldn’t have to wonder why. Because you’ll always have my eye. But I want to know when am I gonna have your eye? And baby, every time our eyes do meet, I just want you to eat off the same plate. I know you don’t want to eat off of it, so baby, let me hold you, please! Let me love you all night and stop you from bad things, and from saying, “Why!”
