if I had something
I suppose I wouldn’t need it
as I think I would
but here I stand
always looking to the stars
hoping for the love of my life
to come walking into my reality
the feeling of need and desire
comes and goes
when it goes, I am happier
but when the flood tides
crash into the shores
I’m lost to the sea of thought
wondering if I ever will find love
maybe it’s an impossible dream
still I hope
maybe something will change
and I’ll wake up
sleeping next to a man
that I love
