Looking for Love

June 7, 2014

Yes I am very young,

and the feeling I get scare me.

But before, I was never looking for it.

Now I am.

When I actually first found a love,

that even on the best nights,

I couldn't dream of.

I knew it was true.

Not because times were always good,

but because I still wanted it,

even when times were bad.

I wanted him through it all.

For many reasons though,

that all had to come to an end.

And now, yes, I am in search.

Of a love that can make me forget the last.

Some say I am looking in the wrong places.

Others say just let it come to you.

But none know what I feel in my heart.

The joy or pain or love or hate.

Maybe I need someone.

Maybe I want someone.

To take the pain away.

To make me forget.
