The Lonely Loner

Oh that lonely loner longs for love
in all the wrong places,
seeking love everywhere
and yet cannot find it anywhere.

Hear him and see his strange behaviors,
as he smiles at the pretty girls passing,
and those bikini models watch him
he smiles,
they laugh and walk on.

Lonely nights alone in search for love
all up and down the streets
and clubs and hotels, all over and over,
he looks,
that lonely loner.

When will he ever learn,
that love comes to those who do not look for it?
Love is a patient girl,
she is not a whore,
who flaunts her goods all over the world,
she is special and she needs patience.

Yet, I fear that lonely loner longing for love
will never, ever learn from his mistakes
and he will never prove to himself
that love will find him soon enough.

A good story, Chris I kind of enjoyed the little tongue twister, lonely loner longing for love. Say it over and over :) :) I don't know if I' feel that bad for him. Sometimes when love finds us, it hurts... :) Love it! SKAT
