Here I am again

In an empty room

Full of people,

I have met so many nice people

But they have all been wrong,

I should give up

But I won’t.

 

Here I go again

Feeling lonely in a crowd

So many friends,

But no lover. There have been lovers

But not the right one,

Some say I try too hard

But I don’t.

 

Dare I hope again?

That some one will stand out

From the crowd,

I know so many people

I despair of one coming through,

I shouldn’t try again

But I will.

 

Here I am again

In a lonely room

Sat at the keyboard,

The internet is full of people

But they all seem wrong,

Maybe I shouldn’t connect again?

I like this. I was lonely for a very long time. I gave up hope. Then my future wife took my hand. Please keep posting your poetry.

Intriguing electronic update of the search for
love.
But as the great R&H song goes...
"Some enchanted evening, you MAY (my capitals)
see a stranger..."
There's nothing certain in love and it is just
as likely to appear unannounced.
So...why sign off too readily with a "Click"
when you can stay logged-on?!! :-)
