On the streets

In the hallways

Everywhere

I see love

Couples walk together

By the beach

They look into each other's eyes

And are enchanted by each other

Even the little boy has a girlfriend

They might not be serious

But they still care for each other

And make each other happy

All people want in this world is love

Maybe they want money

Or popularity or success

But without love they have nothing

Love makes the world go round

That's what they say

It fills your life with joy

And happiness

Everywhere around me

I see love

But I guess that I'm just not

A person who deserves it

I'll always be on the outside

Watching people finding their soulmates

While I pretend that I'm okay

With being alone

I'm not okay with it

I'm lonely

All I want is for someone

To love me

Is that too much to ask for?

Or do I just not deserve

To be loved

To be cared for

The world seems to be moving

Too fast

For me to catch up to anyone

And really get to know them

No one lets me in

No one cares

They only care about themselves

And their lives

Maybe I should be selfish

Like them

Maybe then I'll be loved

Maybe then I won't end up alone

I guess that being nice

Isn't a good thing

Because everyone who has everything

Didn't care about who they hurt to get it

Maybe I'm just not that type

Of person

Maybe I'm wrong for even wanting

To be loved

Maybe I'm supposed to do better things

Like be successful

But that'll never happen

Because being loved is the definition of success

On the streets

In the hallways

Everywhere

I see love

And it will always be

Out of my reach
