if only I had someone, if someone was mine

if only I could talk to them about anything, anytime

maybe I wouldn’t be here, writing these rhymes

what else can I do

when the only two people I can vent to

have problems of their own, too?

ugh I just need a man

but it’s not like I can

just go on over, tell him, “hey you, come and hold my hand”

“hold me in your arms until I stop crying”

“make me smile and never ever stop trying”

“say you love me and promise you’re not lying”

“hug me tight until my worries fade away”

“hold me through every night, every day”

“just tell me it’s okay, it will be okay”

“love me until the day that I die”

“look into my eyes until I start to smile”

“listen to everything going on in my life”

“let me vent so my sorrows are gone”

“stay with me from dusk until dawn”

“if i get scared, turn the lights back on”

“when life makes me sad, make me happy”

“when I don’t feel pretty, make me see what you see”

“and then, one day, get down on one knee”
