Perhaps



Perhaps there's a day
A day for me
A day I'll find someone.
Anyone.

Perhaps it's love
or simply lust
that makes me want
someone.

Perhaps affection
is just a belief
set in my mind by
the world.

Perhaps it doesn't exist
it's just an emotion
but maybe it's something
more.

Perhaps I'll be left
alone for my life
or maybe loved
forevermore.
