she has love;
found it and waited for it
she has love;
nurtured it and cared for it
she has love;
cherisheing with no intentions of letting go
she has love;
talking of it because it completes her world

this other girl doesn't have
exactly what she has
the other girl has a mind and a mouth
she's a hurricane in the making
a disaster to come here after
the boiling point of hearing the stories
of the love that she has and talks of
this other girl cries in defeat
"because no one will love me"

forever loving
but never recieving
a love from herself or anyone else
forever waiting, long forgotten
this girl,
this other girl,
this is me.

oh
but what of she?
she has love
and she will boast to me
until the days
when the sun sets in the west
and the world disbelieves in war
this story wasn't about her
because we always see her
she has love
while the other girl desires
and we don't see her
because if we did
then the world would give up on lovers
and discover the vast majority
of other girls
of other people
these people who are like me

these people who are alone
and haven't come together
because these people neeed people
not meaningfully or romantically
they just need love
the kind of love that understands
the kind of love that is willing to grow
the kind of love that she has - almost
but she has it wrong
she has it wrong compared to me
because i want love, but not her love

i want a love that i cannot describe
not a love that she tells me stories about
where i bubble and burst
and explode into a natural disaster

no

i want...
something more
and i can't wait
because i grow lonely now
forever waiting, long forgotten
when it is my turn
when will i be the she who has love?
