I wake up to silence, a void that echoes through
A space that longs to be filled, a love that's true
I yearn for gentle whispers, soft caresses too
A heart that beats for someone, who loves me anew

I feel empty without a hand to hold
A soul that searches for a love to call its own
I try to fill the gaps with temporary highs
But nothing soothes the ache, of lonely, sleepless nights

I want to be loved, with a love that's real
Not just a fleeting moment, but a heart that feels
I want to be the one, you run to in the rain
The safe haven, where love remains

In this hollow of my heart, I search for a home
A place where love resides, and I am never alone
I'll wait for the one, who'll fill this empty space
And love me with a love, that time and space won't erase.
