I am Alone and Wanting

I am alone and wanting
I wonder what love really is
I hear tears falling from my heart
I see a river form and run to my soul
I want to be needed
I am alone and wanting

I pretend to not feel the pain
I feel my soul begin to drown
I touch my heart and it burns with desire
I worry that I’ll never be loved
I cry unwanted broken hearts
I am alone and wanting

I understand you’re not ready
I say things will work out
I dream of Happily Ever Afters
I try to gain you acceptance
I hope one day you’ll need me like I need you
I am alone and wanting
