no other half

by *sweetheart* - Not entered

don't think i don't feel that stab of loneliness
i see their little tokens of affection
i see the way their gazes penetrate eachothers' eyes
and i long for those things too
don't think i'm ok when i am surrounded by love
when everything points to couples
when people like me are alone, rejects
and when i spend those midnight walks alone
don't think i have it all together 
when you are the one showered with gifts and roses
when you cry, you get that gentle kiss on your forehead
and the embrace that says you aren't alone
when i spend my nights out at movies
 i'm surrounded by couples kissing and holding eachother
when i go out with my friends
and before the night's over
everyone's paired off, except me, and some geek
and when the one's i meet
forget me the next day
or when i go to the mall with the girls
and they all bring their boyfriends without warning
Of all people, why ask me for love advice,
and if i give such good advice,
why doesn't it work for me?
my relationships end withing the month, 
and i wander surrounded by pairs....alone
