Hoping For Love
When I was young
I used to dream
Of a Valentine's message
In the school magazine.
Every year I lived in hope
But did i ever get one?
Nope :(
Declarations of love
For the pretty girls,
But none for Miss Freckle
With the mad ginger curls.
I didn't like the way I looked,
I didn't like my height.
I tried to hide myself away
I tried to dim my light.
But love can change the way you think,
The way you see yourself.
No more sitting in the corner,
No more left upon the shelf.
Love will make you stand up tall,
Look the world straight in the eye.
You can take on all life's challenges
With that person by your side.
So here's to all young dreamers
Who received no cards today
Don't worry, it will happen,
And I love you, anyway.
