Why Now?

Why not before?

Why now?

Why not before?

What changed your mind?

When I asked for your help you ignored me.

Then you gaslit me and made me wonder if I was going crazy.

Now, things are apparently different.

At the same time that you need something from me.

Why now?

Why not before?

A convenience is only requested when it’s needed by you.

I needed a favour yet you couldn’t deliver.

And now’s the time, apparently.

For you.

Why now?

Why not before?

What has changed in your life so considerably

that you now need my help?

Why is now the time?

Have you seen the light and regretted your actions?

Are you making amends for your past deeds?

Will you vow to change your deceptive ways?

Why now?

Why not before?
