The One


I am searching for someone. Who will love me for who I am. Not love me for who they want me to be. My heart is extremely fragile As fragile as a piece of glass And I am searching for love The type of love that will surely last Who is the one that will hold me through the night Who is the one that will always stay by my side Who is the one that will stay strong through hard time Who is the one I want someone to take me to a place far away A place where there is no pain No pain conflicted upon my heart A place where there is little rain Where there is more joy, happiness and less sorrow I’m looking for the key to my heart Can someone please tell me where I should start Who is the one that will make me shine Who is the one that will not waste my time Who is the one that knows I’m worth more than just a dime Who is the one Sometimes I feel as though As though I have been repeating all my mistakes I want to know how long it takes To find that special person Is there a true time limit on when you fall in love Who is the one for me Who will set me free Set me free from all the hurt and pain I’ve seen All the tears, regrets and misery Who will be the missing piece I need to find to complete me The one for whom my heart will beat That will show me the light That will teach me how to fight Fight for true, unconditional love Love that has no true definition Love that cannot be explained Love that can only be expressed through actions Love that is irreplaceable The type of love that everyone searches for But that some find The type of love that some find But only few can hold on to I am one of the few The few that knows how this love feels The few that knows how to hold on Hold on and never let go You are the one for me You are my missing piece That piece that has been in my dreams That piece that has finally made me complete And I know now for certain I know for certain that I am one of the few Because of the love that I share with you I have waited so long For you to come into my life Now that you are a part of my heart I will never take you for granted You mean more to me than anyone else You’re like my sun on a rainy day My love for you is overflowing How much I love you words can’t explain Bringing my life so much joy You’re the reason why I smile Why I laugh, dance and sing You mean more to me than anything Even though we'll have our downfalls Even though we'll sometimes disagree Even though we won't always get along I'll still love you and you'll still love me You are my heart Since day one you have given me hope Hope that I no longer knew I was capable of hoping You have shown me the escape to my happiness Given me joy through my days of distress Shown me a way that I knew not was there Shown me a love that I do not wish to share Our ups and downs will make us stronger Our happiness is going to last much longer Much longer than people actually think Because we both have something that they will never have We have each other So I’ll say it again just to be clear Close to your heart please keep it near You are the one for me You are the missing piece That piece that has been in my dreams That piece that has finally made me complete I do not desire to lose you I do not desire for us to be apart But if we shall, please don’t forget You hold a special place in my heart
