the better half

people around me

they're finding their halves

the ones they've been looking for

they're taking new paths

i'm looking, i'm searching

i'm waiting so patiently

the longer i sit here

the more faith escapes from me

i wait for somebody

one who understands

i can't see the future

so i sit, wring my hands

while people i love

find the ones they've been looking for

i watch as they kiss

sway together on the dance floor

i imagine the life

i could possibly live

if someone loved me

i have so much to give

i know pain, i know lonley

i know long years of sadness

but i still hope for someone

still, i soak in the madness
