This Damn Song

All I want in this whole world is someone to love, Someone to hold, to cherish, to dream of. All I need is someone to comfort me— To stand by my side, to help set me free. Someone to talk to, to whisper things to, Someone, my dear… someone like you. Someone who'll love me, and I’ll love them back, Someone who’s faithful, not someone I lack. Someone—oh someone—help me, I pray… Someone who’ll love me forever and a day. Someone, please—ask her not to leave, For without her, my life is a sieve. Someone, oh someone, hear my cry, And tell the girl I love her—the one who said goodbye. Someone, please someone, tell her I’ll wait— Wait for her return, no matter how late. I’ll wait here forever—I don’t care how long— Because she’s the reason I wrote this damn song. Yes, she’s the reason I wrote this damn song. She’s the only reason I wrote this damn song.

WOW. Thank you so much. I wrote the first version when I was 17, reworked it a few times over the years and decided on a whim to share it on the site. Never thought it was really very good or that anyone would like it.
