Because the west is in an earlier time zone than the east. Why is this?

Because as the earth rotates each day, the sun comes up in the east first.

You aren't actually gaining time, but the time is just delayed. Equally, you will lose that emount of time when you travel back east.

Different regions have different time zones. The hour on the clock changes. You neither lose nor gain time; only the official time, according to the clocks, changes.
