LOVE REACHED OUT FOR

Love is so often reached out for
and the true kind not always found,
like trying to swim an ocean,
drown before reaching solid ground.

Loves in your life have been growing,
and will surely grow once again.
‘cause if they don’t agree with you,
another will come to an end.

It starts out just as you want it,
swaying as it does to your whim.
Why do they change a perfect world,
causing your bright sunshine to dim?

Ever the other one errors,
the problems they have always made.
Your love would have been undying,
but their feelings too soon did fade.

Your way is always the right way,
they who think different are wrong.
If they disagree with what you -
do, they won’t be around very long.

Could it ever be what you do,
the fault at least partly be yours?
That would be quite impossible,
it was they who closed all the doors.

Love is so often reached out for,
sometimes you don’t get the brass ring.
You don’t own the merry go round,
this is the song you will sing.
