Have you ever wanted love so bad?

Have you ever wanted love so bad

That you stayed by the phone

Waiting for a call that will never come?

Drowned your pain in alcohol just to get numb

Searched the depths of the internet for THE ONE.

 

 

Dating sites, profile by profile, no one's right

She might be good. . .ooh look at her height.

Oh she's fine. . .aww damn I got to be white.

Different Requirements, different likes

It seems as if no one knows my plight

Or understands the nights, when I've got no one to hold tight.

 

 

Have you ever wanted love so bad

That you lowered your ideals,

Your standards of excellence

The one you want for real?

 

 

You're disgusted at the dinner table

At the truth that she reveals

Just this once, why couldn't I 

Have been the fifth wheel?

 

 

Have you ever wanted love so bad

That when you finally found someone

You screwed it up?

Declared your love as soon as the first date ended

Then pretended not to say anything

And just hope that she would forget it.

 

 

Date after date and night after night

When will love and I reunite?

My story had always been, I had love and then. . .

But if I had a pen this is what I would write

Despite, All the pain, hell and games

We made it work

Through thick and thin, we overcame

We've conquered, surmounted, and prevailed

Barriers, Obsticles, Hills

The evidence of you by my side states we never failed

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
