For many years, I have believed
My love ‘twas meant to be received
By someone who would truly care
About the warmth I long to share
But, still I seek and never find
A sight so welcomed in the mind
As what my heart painfully yearns –
The day when given love returns.

Each morning, I wake from a dream
And say hello to each sunbeam
While wondering if I will fall
Or spend this life against a wall
I do not wish to be alone
But, as the recent days have shown
The future looks dismal and gray
With no love set to come my way.

My faith in love was once quite strong
But now, I know something is wrong
Love’s melody, once crystal clear
No longer echoes in my ear
As days progress; each one alone
I pray for love to call my own
But in the end, ‘tis all for naught
My heart, the soul that time forgot.
