I toss and turn not being able to sleep
Wondering why i am alone
I have everything to offer someone
but yet am still alone
I don't let anyone get close
as i fear i may get hurt
something i know i can never have
that thing is love
someone to love me for me
to accept me for my faults and weaknesses
to all i smile on the outside
and say "i'm doing okay"
but inside all i want is love
and to not be alone
i have put up a wall
so my heart won't feel pain
but long for the time when someone will
tear down that wall and tell me
"i love you just the way you are"
