Back to that Childlike Love

You know those days you feel empty and alone?
When you want something so badly but don't know what it may be?
I can sometimes feel a piece of my heart that's empty, even if it's not shown
I believe it is love that's missing, but I can't find it anywhere around me.

I want that feeling; my stomach tightening
He looks at me; I get so embarrassed I run away
A feeling that is so undeniably frightening;
A smile that melts me every day

The boy behind that smile may not feel the same way
but I would love him just the same
Just the feeling would bring color to a world of grey
but I really hope he doesn't think that i'm lame.

I want him to feel the way I feel
I want to make his smile be mine.
I want to know i'm wanted too
I want to be given back the love I give away

But most of all, I want to be whole.
And to be whole, I need to have that beautiful love.
