Love and Loneliness
(A poem with borrowed lines)
Being in love gives us such elation,
Like walking on clouds, an amazing sensation.
Come live with me, and be my love, *
Our love will be perfect, something my life has been void of.
We'll never, ever want to part,
Don't worry, you'll always be in my heart.
Now loneliness is a whole other story.
It fills us with despair, and also with worry.
There's a need to escape, with no other choice,
No one to hear the sound of my voice. **
So next time you're lonely, or even just scared,
Come and find me, for you I'll be there.
