Here I am ... Where are you?
I looked for you but you weren't there
I've search the world my whole life through
To have a love like you ...

How could it be you love me so
I've ached for someone just like you
You had to have been sent by God
To fill my heart with such fullness and love ...

Yes, I've cried many lonely nights
As I walked the streets alone in the wee
Hours of the night and I'd wish to have that
Special someone to love and hold me tight ...

Oh to be able to lay safely by his side and
Hear his heartbeat next to mine ...

Suddenly I'm awake for it was but a dream
It seemed so real, but what was real is that
I am still here alone ...

My spirit yearns and needs to give my all
To the man I am to love
I pray he sees me my heart from within
And knows there is much more to me inside ...

I fear I will never be loved again and
Fear I am destined to be alone with only
My memories from within ...

I will not beg for love -
As it must come from the heart
I'd rather be lonely than to accept a
Lie or truth in part ...

When I've tried to live as
Someone else expects and plans
It keeps me from being the real person
That I am ...

Life's too short to argue and play games
I want all God has to offer me in this life ...

I have no hatred nor grudge within me
It becomes a heavy burden that we carry in life ...

Life's too short - it is but a vapor
Here one moment and gone the next ...

So take this day - No, take this moment to
Look deeply into your soul to find and
Trust the GOD that you believe in ...

This life is not forever but there is a God
Who is the truth, love, and forgiveness
And wants us to be with Him in Eternity ...
