"Ask away, ask your question."
Your smile disappears,
And you ask...
"Why?"

Why, oh why, Sophie,
Why keep you alive?
We both know I can't strip away your sorrows,
Nor bring back your smiles,
So why?

I held you closer and told you so:
"Because I need your laughter—
To paint my world.
I need your smiles,
To walk with me up hills.
I need your voice,
To keep me sane.
I need your tears,
To have someone dear, to hold near."

"Because I'm selfish."
Just like you.

"Because you're my friend."
Just like I am to you.

"Because the world needs you."
To be alive and by my side.

"Because people love you."
But you're too blind to see.

"That's a lie,"
You said,
"I just wished."
You sighed.
"That he'd stop staring,
And confess..."
You breathed in.
"That he loves me."
You cried again.
But his time I was hurt too—
I was confused.

Who's he,
And why I never knew...

I hope you guys like it! What do you think of the new twist and additional character? Who is he?
Do you think Bianca knows him?
