Love...Where Are You

I'm sitting here with thoughts on my mind,
and then I see this couple passing by.
Their love is special, one of  kind,
on a level so high no one could fly.
And then I began to wonder...

Why am I alone, sitting here by myself,
is there really no one out there for me?
Love found someone for everyone else,
but seems to have forgotten me.
They say if you're patient,
love will find you.
Well I stayed patient,
and I have no clue,
where you might be.
I feel like love can't find me,
like we're in the darkness.
It's searching but can't see,
where I am, looking hopeless.
But i'll start searching too,
hoping that I run into you.
And hopefully i'll find you soon.

Love...where are you?

Behind The Poem: 

Ever felt like you try and try but always lose in the game of love?
Or maybe you don't even get to be a player of this game.
You wait patiently but you still find yourself just...waiting?
Thats where this poem comes from so leave a comment fellow poets and let me know what you think...Respect

I felt like that before, I can relate to this poem I'm definitely going to keep this shit around for real, this is a good piece, good job, challenge yourself next time and use a lot of metaphors, that will amp it up to another level

I enjoyed this poem because it speaks from the heart, and it is very relatable. I think we all have felt this way at one point or another. I think the key is find happiness wtihin one's self first, and by that I mean being comfortable with being alone. Sometimes life is prepariing us for that special someone, and we just need to get out of our own way so to speak--that's where patience comes in. It isn't always easy but when you focus on what you don't have most of the time you get what you really didn't want. Just my humble opinion, but I also enjoyed your rhyme scheme as well. Keep writing! Nice poem.

thanks for the comment, I get what you're and its true...being impatient n worrying about what you don't have can end you up with what you didn't want but I don't mind being patient and waiting, its just sometimes you begin to think, ya know

I felt every word in my heart. I feel like this all the time, so lonely it hurts, I see couples everywhere, families, women everywhere I look romance and sex on Tv,It drives me crazy at times. Life is hard on my own. I feel unlovable, although I have a big heart, and so much to give.

You sound a very nice person, they say, there's someone for everyone. Get out there stop looking Buddy, spread your love to everyone everyday, and hopefully it will be reflected back. Join a poetry group, start one, then you'll meet similar people like yourself. You express yourself so well, you could have written this poem for me. Take care Good luck. All the best for the year ahead. Moogie.

IIt was a pleasure Friend. Your poem is amazing, you could have written it about me. Your not alone mate, a lot of us feel like that. I just hope and pray, you find what your looking for. Get out there, spread your love to everyone, no matter who they are, smile, make someone else smile, be kind, people will notice, and maybe, the special one you hope for. Keep writing your great. My best wishes. Moogie.

Thanks for writing! So relatable and you've unmasked the face of many challenges we all go through even myself. Yet don't be too anxious of any love, because the wrong energy or person may take up your time.

Trust me, love will find and flourish around you. Lovely write!

truthful, introspective, and honest.  We all feel this way.  Even some people in relationships feel this way.  Finding love is hard and it feels impossible.  I love the part about love not being able to find you in the darkness.  That is truthful and beautifully poetic.  Keep writing my brother you have the soul and the wonder of a true poet.  Never doubt that.

I wrote verry much like this once at first.  Feelings come like flows and burst.  Keeping them inside would be worse.  Of all cultures and colars their are inventors ofwords and thoughts.  Only did they prefect with work .  You have the feel of a poet , work to make as perfectas it is when it flows from inside you and you will be you andyou will be at peace.

Yes, I know what you mean.  Last time I found love apparently it was a complete lie.  Kind of broke me.  Now I'm trying my hardest to forget about love.  It hurts too much.
