I've never been in love...

I've never been in love...

I've never been in love, as sad as it may seem.

I've never touched the stars or had a beautiful dream.

I've never relenquished all my thoughts or feelings to a friend.

And I've never cried in front of anyone,

even though the pain would never end.

I've never snuggled to a sunrise or made love along a shore,

and no one has ever loved me until they could love no more.

I long for love but have never searched.

Still luck has not found my name.

Yet I know that when love takes my heart,

I will never be the same.
