I need love too,
But it can't be found;
I scream forever,
But there's no sound.

I search in vain,
Where can it be;
We all have a soul mate-
Why not me.

I'm not ugly,
Far from it;
And yet I feel like,
It's time to quit.

Stop searching for someone,
I'll never find;
This haunting loneliness,
Is blowing my mind.

My heart is full,
I'm gentle and kind;
But my other half,
I just can't find.

Are you out there searching,
For me as well;
Two misguided souls,
Living in hell.

I won't settle for less,
Than a love meant to be;
I won't cheat myself,
From destiny.

So I'll go on seeking,
For the love of my life;
And until I find her,
I'll face the sorrow and strife.
