Love Seen But Never Had

Love Seen But Never Had

Feeling love
searching evermore
looking all around
and seeing more and more
but to look inside
and naught to find
makes the pain even more.

Seeing those you love
looking right past
sensing nothing in thought
feeling alone
in a crowded room
full of those
you call your friends.

While love
is all and well
for those
who have discovered
what it means to have
loved and lost
as well as loved
but never had
seeing the emotion
of those around
makes you feel
truly alone.

So on this special day
this Valentines Day
while others are laughing
and others are kissing
others are sitting
doing nothing at all.
