All We Need Is Love

Each and every morning
I wake from deep sleep
Strech my limbs from rigor
And arise from my long sleep

Each and every morning
I look around and sigh
I look to the half of my bed
The half where no one lies

Without someone there
I am incomplete
Without someone beside me
I cannot feel complete

I imagine that she's there
That I can stroke her hair
I wish I had someone here
I wish I had my love

I believe we all need love
To make us feel complete
That everyone has their one
And I have found my one

Her name, it doesn't matter
She's the one who makes you
feel complete and whole
She's the one for me

And when we are without
The love that we need so
Depressed shall we become
And long for her, we shall

I suggest finding anew
Your love which you held true
If love cannot work
Then do not be hurt so

Find someone who's like you
Who's just like you with
many common interests
So you won't feel so alone

Unfortunatly, I'm a romantic
I have no perfect mate
Even though I see myself in them
They cannot see them in me

Maybe they don't know me
Maybe they look skin deep
Maybe they are right
Or maybe its all three

I know I am not like
Those who you see around
But I have something
They do not have within them

I am not interested
In looks, clothing, or race
I see only mind with heart
The true person within

I admire people who share things with me
Who are good and playful and heart
Sci-fi fan is helpful
Intellegent a must

Good looks are but a plus
A side dish, not a course
The meat of a person
Is truely in the heart and brain

People who think
Who understand, who do
People who argue science
Philosophy and theory

These are the people I seek
So far I've found but two
Love me they do not
But love them I shall

Love is what we need
True love, not lust
We need to be loved
By familty, friend or spouse

I do not lust after thee
But I do love you so
But ask yourself this
Does he love you more?

That man who you love more
Does he really love you
Or just lust after you
Wanting flesh, not more

If a girlfriend I will have
I want it to be love
Love is not lust
And so I will wait for her to show
