Alone

I stand on a hill, looking into the distance,
A tear slowly crawls from my eye.
I stand perfectly still, in a stiff stance
As I look at the world go by.

The tear's from the wind, not from my thought,
Though I let it flow unstopped.
The times I can't cry when I feel that I ought,
Makes me wish more tears had dropped.

Apart from the crowd, I wait for a sign,
Something to show me the way.
But I've waited for years, for it to be mine,
And I'm still lost at the end of the day.

Perhaps I don't know what I'm looking for,
And the difference is all in my mind,
But I sense there should be something more,
Than what it is that I currently find.

I hope that one day, I will find that key,
To open the doors to my soul.
I keep getting this feeling, I want to be free,
To become more than just part, but whole.

I have this hunch, I can't do it myself,
I need somebody to care.
To give me a reason, to give me some help,
Someone with whom I can share.

Someone who knows me, right to the core,
Someone to love me for me.
Someone I can love and do things for,
Someone who wants me, to be.

To love and to hold, to cherish and trust,
To sustain and support my psyche
To hug and caress, ignite great lust
To be more than just someone to like

It seems so hard, that this could come true,
This dream of being as one.
All it would take is someone like you,
To believe in me and have fun.

Life is too short, to miss out on love,
I really don't think I could bear it.
I want to be, as a hand to a glove,
Made to match for the one who would wear it.
