Only in my dreams

Only a dream

When will love discover me?
I fear that love will not find me until I am of an age
Where my skin is no longer delicate and tender
Where the hair on my head grays into a worn out mop
Where the life inside me is barely alive

I watch as my friends find a love thats so precious, so rare, so profound and still I stand alone without someone for myself

Will there ever be someone for me?
I fear that in my lifetime I will die alone
Unaware of what love feels like
Unaware of where love arises from
Unaware of who it was that may have loved me

Its a shame that the feelings I feel are held this way
I am not sure where these feelings originated from
But I do know they are there and I cannot ignore them

Can I dream of who it is that will comfort this longing?
I fear that I can and that I do
With all feeling
With all hope and no despair
With all passion
With all love and desire
I dream that someone not anyone but someone
Will find my heart. And with out thinking of power
They will think of love and care
For in their heart they will know that
I am fragile, brittle and weak
But only in my dreams does this stay

For I fear of losing something I can only dream about
