Can I Ask You

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

Can I ask you how you feel?
After all that I put you through these past months
Calling you up every night in tears
Can I ask you why you've stayed around?
Held my hand as I went to the cops
Went through therapy every month
Can I ask you how you could hold on?
When I was screaming for you to let go of me
Get out of the screwed up life that mine had become
Can I ask you how you felt when you saw me?
In tears, falling into your arms when I had collapsed
Telling myself that I give up
Can I ask you why you helped me?
Why you told me to not quit
And to fight the nightmares, the flashes, the tears
Can I ask you how you felt when you saw him there at the prom?
And you couldn't do anything but stare him down
Asking in your mind how he could hurt a girl so much
Can I ask you how you felt when you realised you couldn't get him back for hurting me?
How you kept from hitting him right then and there
How you kept your level of sanity
Can I ask you why you stood by to help me?
After everyone else walked away
After everyone else gave up
And can I ask you how?
How did you suceed in making me so incredibly happy?
How did you get me to love my life so much and give up on commiting suicide?
How did you fall in love with me?
