I?m feeling sad because I have no one to love on this day,
No one to cuddle and tell my dreams to or even share my love with.
I wish I were like every other girl- beautiful and skinny,
so I could have someone to love and care for me...
even if it wasn?t real.

They say everyone is meant for another, but why can?t I even
have a taste of love, just to know what it?s like?

At night, I sit and wish I knew what it was like-
to get the late night phone calls
that are just to say, "I love you,"
or when I?m sick, to have someone to come and take care of me
and bring me a get well card, or even just a kiss.

All these are things I dream of
and wish with all my heart I had.

I don?t care if I don?t stay with someone forever,
at least long enough to feel what it's like.
To have someone to tell sweet things to
and share all my deepest secrets with.
Just seeing other girls with someone holding
and loving them, tears me up inside, but
I hold back the tears...

and wait till I go home to cry myself to sleep
and dream of how it all could really be.
