I Want Love

I want love To help me find the light switch When I'm in a dark room I want love To show me the door When I can't find it on my own I want love To point out the Sun When I'm too blind to see it I want love To prove to me that my heart is still beating When I feel like it's not I want love To show me there is still the possibility Of butterflies in my stomach When I feel like there's not enough room For them to flutter their wings I want love To show me what happiness looks like In a world where I can only see sadness I want love I want love

much much love to you Emily! I think it's a natural thing to want love, sometimes crave it myself but count my blessings and know love is eternal, it comes and goes "if today was perfect there would be no need for tomorrow" (-my favourite pillow quote). I have no doubt you will receive the love you need, PSSST it tends to come when we least expect it, one of my favourite topics "Love", thank you for writing about it !
