Realization of a Lonely One

Nobody knows the grief in me 
Nobody knows the misery I feel 
Loneliness feels to be eternally destined for me

Where is that lady for me? 
But I guess I’m being a bit over zealous cause I’m only 18 

But being in love with 
being in love 
makes it difficult to wait patiently 

but I haven’t truly waited cause 
I’ve searched unthinkingly
So I guess it’s time to stop because 
I’m looking where it seems not to exist and all just like and mistake infatuation 
for love

It’s said you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone
So am I divinely appreciative of this because I’ve obviously yet to experience this 
mental, emotional, physical, and most of all spiritual intimacy I so long for 
Like an orphan for the love of their birth mother

Maybe it’s not a divinity personified appreciation 
I think the saying is wrong 
Or not so much wrong as it is incomplete 

Yes it’s true when something is lost it is truly appreciated
But and seen so much and not experienced it is appreciated beyond means

So all that hear this pray
Cause if you’re going through what I’m going through you can only rely on God to 
truly guide you
And please pray for me because I’m praying for you 
Cause those of us who put ourselves in this land of loneliness need it
And I thank you Lord for giving me these words. Helping this lonely one to stop 
searching for what is not meant to found but shall come to me when it is 
suppose to 
If it is suppose to 
With saying this I am gaining the virtue of patience
Waiting for love to make its appointment with 
Me
