Healer

Some day in life
I hope to be wanted
I hope to be needed
I hope to be loved
By someone I love too

Is it so much to ask?
Just to be loved
For who I am
And not how I look
Doesn't seem that much
But it must be
That the price is too high
Because I haven't gotten it yet

When I am older
I don't want a large house
Or a high paying job
Not even a car
Or a life of wealth
All I want
In this so called life
Is just to be needed
By someone I love

I've been searching for years
For that infamous thing
For that single idea
That someone thought up
That thing they call love
That everyone needs
I've been searching so long
For just that someone

I know that I say
That I don't want its touch
Because I'm scared from before
When for just awhile
I thought it had come
But ever since I felt it
Or at least so I thought
I've been wanting it more
Than ever before

All of us need
To be loved at least once
By someone who cares
And someone who's true
I know I am right
I know that love hurts
But the wounds you receive
Can quickly be healed
Because if it is true
There's no way you can cry
Love is a healer
It heals all old wounds
