Certain kind of something

Certain kind of something

Whenever I go out I take a good long

look all around me just watching

and listening to all the people out

on the streets no matter where I go

I keep trying to find a certain kind of

something that has to do with love

I am not exactly sure of what I am

looking for but when I see it I am

quite sure that I will know, I see the

single ones just trying hard to find

another one who is just like them

just so they could know what love is

so they will no longer be lonely

any more, then there are those who

have finally just given up on ever

really finding a true love for they

have given up on the hope after

being in all of the raging battles

in what I call "Loves war" who

have been beaten down, bruised

up, scars from wounds while still

hurting from all of their broken

hearts. The few that just do not

ever want anything to do with love

are only looking for a good time

with their motto of "what can you do

for me, baby how about you buy me

a new car throw in some cash and I

Promise to love you long time" which

makes me say ewww, they are so

confused on what exactly love really

is fooled into believing like a lot of

others have been too by an almost

exact facsimile of what love is

suppose to be the nemesis of love,

lust another four letter word yet

means something quite different,

you see a real love will last long

past forever no matter what you

may hear while lust last only long

enough for the attraction to wear off

or until the money runs dry. No

matter who you are everybody in

every place wherever you go are all

still searching while they continue

hoping for the same thing that all

of you and I are all still wishing on

patiently waiting for not another

cold-hearted lover or one night

stands, love that never last past

the morning, promising forever

while knowing it is a lie, no what

want and have been searching for

is really true love to walk through

our doors.
