Benita Lake

:

Lost in the days of unhappiness,
Filled with feelings
Of bad memories,
Feeling alone where I
Longed to see someone
Whom I've known for so many days.

Being around people
Who don't seem to notice
How I feel lost
Is what is so sad.

Being without that person
Makes me feel unwanted;
Just to be near him
And feel wanted
Is what I want.

I want to feel happy,
With happy memories
Filling my mind.
Let me find the someone
I'm looking for.
