Love where are you hiding?

Find me and complete me

Is it my time? Guess not

I have no lid for my pot

Want someone to want me totally

Inside and out, flaws and all

Accept me 100%, no ifs, ands or buts

Find me love; get me out, out of this rut!

Someone who can't sleep, think or be without me

That spark and good feeling when they touch me

I want that so bad, I can taste it

Dreaming that the day will come

So my search can be done

Feel empty, lonely and my heart aches

Waiting for my turn for love

When I find it, I will embrace it, not run and lay my heart on the line

Maybe love will find me in due time....
