Why?

I lay beneath the stars one night,
and dream my dreams with mind's sight.
Time ticking away and nothing to do,
I wander and wonder if true loves true.
With sparkling lights glittering above,
I think of what makes us long for love.
Partnership, companionship, mate, and friend,
Just another body is all it is in the end.
What is love, and why does it matter?
The pain intense with the heart's shatter.
We weep and cry with pouring eyes,
And we never stop to ask ourselves "why?"
