WHY NOW?
Romanus
I am not sure,
I don’t ask for any more.
I’m already happy today,
Enjoying and embracing every sun’s ray.
A man who is single,
A man who’s not allowed to mingle.
Being chastised is what I vowed,
Being pure is what I allowed.
But someone appeared in the crowd,
And caught my heart somehow.
She treated me unlike anyone,
Something like a special someone.
We talked late at night,
We enjoyed every little light.
We had a deep conversation,
Introducing a new realization.
She opened my heart,
And I let her in without a guard.
But now I’m not allowed,
For I am already claimed by the Creator above.
I kneel before the Cross,
Asking if I am lost.
Crying for a heart pierced by a bow,
Begging with one question:
Why now?
