alonenss

feeling the aloneness
not as lonely as I used to get
is that something that I should regret
as the longing for loving touches diminishes
with each passing year
knowing the end is closer now
than it’s ever been
knowing the best of life’s time
is way back when
at least physically
there’s not much left of me
and yet the magic only takes a moment
and one moment of true love is an eternity
so I hope as always
it’ll happen to me

just one more moment before this body dies
just one more moment of this life’s greatest high
just one more moment of the sharing of love’s bliss
just one more moment, one more touch, one more kiss

feeling the isolation
not as frightened as I used to get
is that something that I should regret
as the desperation to be loved diminishes
with each passing year
knowing it’s not worth much unless
someone wants to give it
knowing all the wanting in the world
will not make someone else live it
and so physically
there’s no one here with me
and I don’t pretend I can force anyone
share true love, so I wait and let it be
and I hope as always
someone will love me

just one more moment before this body dies
just one more moment of this life’s greatest high
just one more moment of the sharing of love’s bliss
just one more moment, one more touch, one more kiss

softly, sweetly, touch the sweet sensation
