All these years of
expectancy,
finding someone who
will give me all things I want,
all things I need
I beckon for someone
to give me music,
give me poetry,
give me love,
give me everything I need
But a voice inside cautions:
no one can love you like you need,
no one is all things true,
no one out there is all for you
Connecting so effortlessly
you give me words to hear,
music to fill the air,
books to read,
and pictures to see
Why can’t you be the one
to provide all things I want,
all things I need
I beckon again,
give me music
give me poetry
give me love
Still the voice carries on:
no one is all things true
no one out there is all for you…
