A tough lesson to learn...

I guess I’ve known it all along,
True love comes from within your own heart.
It’s why people search for it forever, without success,
Cause they just don’t know where to start.

They look for it in others,
They keep turning over stone after stone,
They think the answer to that ache in there heart,
Is to find anyone, so they don’t have to be alone.

Loneliness is the enemy,
To them it must be dealt with, right away.
They jump on the first ticket out of it,
Even if it isn’t the right way.

They sob tears of sorrow,
Aching for a shallow love that died,
Then grow scared to keep searching for true love,
Like true love isn’t worth every tear cried

It’s deeper than the ocean,
And there isn’t another emotion that can compare.
When you’ve found your other half,
That right person whom which you choose, your life to share.

But you’ll never find that person,
Till you can be happy on your own,
Cause if you keep looking to escape loneliness in the wrong places
You’ll live life without true love, and you’ll forever be alone
