Lord why? was written in 2005 while I was in graduate school as I reminisced over a "friendlationship" that did more harm than good. Sometimes only God has the answer to why we go through certain things. Ultimately He knows better than we do.
Lord why?
Lord, why did I meet him when I met him?
Lord, why was the attraction so strong?
Why did I feel so good about it,
When the whole situation was wrong?
Why did he say all those things to me
As if he himself could for see
That we would have a future together
And that he could actually want me
As a delicate vase upon a stand
With an immature man at hand
He must first grow up and know
How to handle such a delicate being
For 3 months is not enough to know
And our paths cannot really coincide
I see you by my side
Aged and old
Smiles of delight
Enjoying one another’s presence
Learning to give and yet refrain
For maybe another woman ought to bear my name
And you, you’ve got so much to get together
Your attraction to me—now that’s your problem
It doesn’t pay to lead someone on
Lord, why did I meet him when I met him?
Lord, why was the attraction so strong?
Why did I feel so good about it,
When the whole situation was wrong?

Wow!!!! You put the words to what a lot of us has felt. at one point i did ask God about the same thing. Sometimes we demand God for answers as if He is accountable to explain to us why such things happen. Hehehe. We only then realize that His silence was accomplice to the surprise He is preparing.
