Tell me why

The one thing I went looking for, was the only thing I could not see,
You opened my eyes my love, you taught me to find you in me.

You swept me off my feet,
You drove me to madness most discreet.

Your presence unfailingly made me stronger,
Your absence made my heart grow fonder.

So how could the lack of me not haunt you in your dreams?
How could you consign to oblivion, however great the distance seems?

Why did you see me off to a world of agony unfathomable?
Why did you choose to deem my tears and anguish invisible?

For oft when I am heart wrenched and come undone,
Our unspeakable memories quietly tell me you're still the one.

So tell me why, the more I ache for you, the more you torment me.
Tell me why the more I chase you, the more you elude me.
