Why Now?

I remain in a state of constant chaos
Searing realizations...debilitating denials
No, don't start feeling sorry for me now
All the damage's done, you cannot take away this pain
You can lesson the sorrow, perhaps
But, you cannot take away my scars...
As if you even thought twice, or looked back
Why would you start to care now,after lifetimes have past?
You missed the grace period, where you could, if you choose
You could've made things right
But, that time has come and gone, and gone around again
So, why, I ask you, why now?
I just recently have started feeling whole again
I saw the lies for lies, and the silence for silence
I finally found the strength and the courage
I stopped dreaming of you every night
I wasn't waking up in cold sweats, crying out your name
I stopped analyzing every conversation we had
Looking for a hint, a clue, for rhyme, for reason
There were no clear answers, only questions
Questions that were only now slowly fading away...
So, why now...why not a month ago?
Why not six months ago?
Why are you here now, today?
I was just about ready to let you go for good
So, please tell me why...
Why you chose today to touch my wounded heart?
