Why can't I?

Why can't I tell you
I miss you
Why do I have to pretend
I don't care?
Why must I hide my feelings?
When it's clear
What is there?
Why can't I tell you
I love you?
Why do I have to pretend
I don't care?
Why must I hide my feelings?
When it's more
Than I can bare?
Why do I have to follow
These rules?
These rules that tell me
What's fair...
Who came up with
These regulations?
These regulations
That cause me despair.
Why must I still suffer?
When all I want to tell you is
"I still care."
