Blue Butterfly

I Know Not Why

Why do lovers part...
What prevents two people
From being - heart to heart.

Why do lovers part...
What prevents two people
From being friends.

I know not why... but this I do know
For nature has taught me well.

The seasons come and go
And...
Where one ends - the other begins.

A relationship... like a river
Will run its course
Only in time to find its way to the sea.
And...
Where one ends - the other begins.

I know not why - what prevents.
