I want to feel it again

I want to feel it again
That tightness in your gut
The butterflies that fluttered
Whenever you got close...

But now that feeling is gone
I've forgotten what it feels like
What it truly means
To love and be loved

I want to love again
To give myself to another sweet girl
The quiet, shy type
And take things slow and heartfelt

To have the passion of love
And to be held
In a way that only they can
To feel complete

I long for the day I know true love
To know that she is the one forever
For the rest of my life
With my love

But I am not ready for love again
I couldn't take another loss
I miss the way it used to be
But I wouldn't take it back

I need some time alone
To find out who I am
Not through someone else
But who I am by myself

I await the day that I can give again
Trust
Love
Me
