Belonging

I have been so use to being alone
Belonging is something I have never known
Through the years loneliness have in my heart grown
Thinking that for some past crime maybe I have to atone

All my life for attention I have been craving
Love and caring is something that I have been wanting
I just existed for no reason this life I was wasting
Never understood what is bringing this deep sense of needing

Then I found you darling and to me love you have shown
You have cherished, protected me, you became my comfort zone
Showed me that this life I should not bemoan
Now the sense of belonging is no longer unknown

You stopped my heart’s endless bleeding
Gave me a new hope with your love and romancing
Showed me that with you this life can be thrilling
Yes darling you gave me a real sense of belonging
