Analysis of Just Because



The most important things don’t need a reason,
—just because

The falling leaves beyond their season,
—just because

The sun trades the night to the rising moon,
—just because

The lateness that brings one last final goodbye,
—just because

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
