For The Lonely
 

"Guess I wasn't, the best one, to ask, me myself
With my face, pressed up against love's glass
To see the shining toy I've been hoping for,
The one I never can afford
The wide world spins and spits turmoil
And nations toil for peace, but the paws of fear upon your chest
Only love can soothe that beast.

And my words are, paper tigers
No match for the predator of pain inside her

I say love will come to you
Hoping just because you spoke the words that they're true
As if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through
Where there's now one, there will be two" - The Indigo Girls "Love Will Come to You"

With this "holiday" (and I use that term ever so loosely) coming up, I just wanted to offer something for those of us who have that empty spot in their heart. Even though Vday is a corporate holiday, it is still depressing at times to see people you know get into it while you have no one to share it with.

All I can say is there is a place for all of us somewhere in the world, it just isn't our time yet. One day when you least expect it, love will come to you, knocking on your door, not because you were wishing it, but because it was your time to come.

"Hey your glass is empty, it's a hell of a long way home
Why don't you let me take you, it's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up, but you seemed so real to me
After all the bullshit I've heard, it's refreshing enough to see
I don't have to pretend, she doesn't expect it from me.

Just let me try, and I will be good to you
Just let me try, and I will be there for you
I'll show you why, you're so much more than good enough" - Sarah McLachlan "Good Enough"

You deserve the best, to be cared for, to feel secure...to be loved. Somewhere out there, there is something good enough, for all of us. Don't despair, don't cry, and know that out there, someone is just waiting to find you.

*walks off into the night*

krzykrn,

You find them just after you've given up and stopped looking.

Looking interferes with the seeing.

I hope I grow up to be as smart as Oldfart!

((krzykrn))~ he's spot on. Just like shit...love happens! It's when you try to manipulate or create it that failure is destined.

Happy Valentine's Day (someone special loves you, they just might not have met you yet)

Lil,

If you'll send me $2.37 and three coke bottle caps I'll send you

a three part course on "Being Oldfart for fun and profit".

For an additional $5.00, I won't send it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Krzy and Oldfart. This is one Valentines Day that I am alone. There have been others where I have not been. I remember the good ones and the magic of love that permeated every fiber of my being. I look back on those memories and smile, thankful that I was able to have those feeling once before.

And with those feelings, there is also hope that I will experience those feelings again.

My very best wishes to all on this day of love, and especially to those who are waiting for their turn in amoric utopia.

As for myself, I'm going shopping!! Woo-Hoo!!! :)
