Why Are You Affecting Me?

I lie awake Hoping, praying You will turn to me Look at me with those loving eyes But you never do. Every time I hope It never comes true. I don't know why I have restless nights Thinking maybe, just maybe You would hold me tight in your arms again I don't know why It affects me Or why you affect me The way you do But the truth is That is only the tip Of this ever melting iceberg.
