I Want Love

Yesterday I got outta bed
Nothing seemed to be wrong except the fact that if had been 2 days since you called
I kept making sure that…

My phone was on…

And I don’t wanna come to the conclusion
That me and you were an illusion
Cause it would be something that I don’t think that I could handle
VERY WELL!!

I want to love!
No more pain!
I wanna hear you callin’ out my name.
I want fairytales. No more rain!
I’m ready, do you feel the same?
Because I can’t stop! Won’t stop! Till I get what I want.
Baby all that I want is you.
I want love.

    many of us are looking for love but in all the wrong places. but we first have to learn how to love ourselves then we will be better in life, sometimes I think I need just to step away and work on myself whenever things aren’t going my way
