She Doesnt Understand

She longs for that special touch 
To feel a sense of satisfaction 
To be loved 
cared for 
and accepted for who she is 

She craves attention and acknowledgement 
She doesnt know or understand her worth and value
So she searches for love in all the worng areas 

Settling for second best and missing out on everything she is worth 
Doing anything to be told how beautiful she is, 
how amazing she is 
and how worthy she is 

She doesnt know who she is and needs someone to define her 

He makes her smile 
He makes her laugh 
But he tourtures her and frightens her 

But she'l do all she can to receive that satisfaction for one moment

Then she finds you, 
she doesnt know you 
and doesnt understand 
But she knows that you love her and accept her 
and will never leave her 

She just hopes that one day 
she'l look to you first before craving physical affection 
from him
