Title: 155 Words - Why?

Author: B R Cary

Classification: SR (Doggett/Reyes Romance)

Disclaimer: We all know the drill.  Not mine, don't own them,
wish I did.

Note: After watching ‘Audrey Pauley', I felt just as frustrated
as Reyes at Doggett's lack of response.  I mean, he spent the
whole episode trying to save her, then he doesn't even tell her
that he is glad she's all right.  I was kind of hoping that Chris
would not pull the same stunt again,but I guess I was wrong.

Feedback: I would love to know what you thought about this as it
is my first effort with a 155 word story.  Feedback is how
authors learn and grow.  You can write to me at

As I watch you drive away tonight, I want to know one 
thing?

Why?

Why do you deny your feelings?

I know you love me.  I see it in your every glance.  I feel 
it every time you reach for me.  I hear it every time you 
say my name.  These things say what you cannot.

I know how hard you fought to save me, that you believed I 
was still alive when others did not.  How you refused to 
let me go.  Even a stranger saw what you try so hard to 
hide.  She conveyed to me what you deny.  She gave me your 
message of love.  

Why can you only express your feelings when I can't hear 
them?

Why did I have to hear them from someone else?

Why can't you see how much I need you, how much I love you 
in return.

Why can't you just tell me the truth?
