-The Missing Piece-

Through endless streams of time, life goes on
Souls drift, souls pass, and I sit by and watch
Drifting by, I observe, through my eyes open
Yet closed I was to those we seek, I never sought
I felt alone, I felt cold, I felt empty, inside
Darkness was around me, and in it, I felt cozy
For I was used to it, being something I didn't mind
Yet I didn't know at the time, but I was missing a piece
I learned that piece, the missing piece, it was obvious
The thing most do seek, some with far more desire
That thing is love.
One to call my own.

I disregarded this, for I believe it wasn't for me
Not me, the one alone and at piece with such lonliness
I believed I would not find the one I was meant to be with
I believed that no one could love me in such a deep way
I believe that _I_ could love no one in such a deep way
No, that was it, I didn't need a mate in this life
I was content that a life alone would be the one I would like
For I never held much respect for the ones around me
And nor did I really expect much of it back
No, no love, no companion, I'll be happy without
But then I found you.
You, of all people.

You came into my life in the strangest of places
And to me, the observer, you were another of those faces
But something quickly stood out about you
Something that jumped at me and tried to get my attention
What was this feeling that was holding me ransom?
So I got closer to you, I mingled, I coerced
Surprisingly, to me, you were not just dank and scarce
You were different, more pleasant, more similar to me
And as we grew closer, something burst out at me
I figured out just what was holding me, that feeling, inside
It was love.
The feeling of love.

How pleasureful was this feeling, one I had cast aside
I chose to go without it, but I wondered how I could have felt that
I confessed my love for you, and you didn't run and hide
That's when I learned you had the same feeling inside
Neither of us would haved guessed before, but we had found the one
And now my life, my life, my life feels better
The person I was, had accepted, has changed for the better
I discovered things about myself I had never knew
And I have found for myself the one person we all secretly seek
Deny it or not, they're out there, waiting to be forever changed
Changed for the better.
Their lives merged with another.

My life I give to you.
Never will it be taken back.
Finally I say it.
And I know you feel the same.

I love you.
