Why Do We?

Why do we let one person
be the center of our lives,
and when that person leaves us,
think there's no way we can survive?

Why do we think our world has crashed down,
and that tomorrow will never come?
Why, when we see that person,
do we just want to run?

Why do we think we can't move on,
when we know our friends are always there,
or when someone new comes into our life,
why do we compare?

You know your heart and soul
have been turned upside down.
Why do we let this happen?
Why don't we turn this back around?
