Nobody's sweetheart

They say that love is for everyone and they say that love finds a way
I listen to it all the time and try to believe the same.
But how am I to know if love is out there waiting for me?
I look for it all the time but its nowhere to be seen.
They say you give love  and you get it back
and I can only wonder, perhaps wait a bit longer
for love inside me to grow stronger.
 
I cannot help but notice this strange 'look' in peoples eyes
"Ah- a nice girl, someday she will reach for the skies".
But how do I make them see what lies beneath the cover of my heart
the search for completeness, the longing for those hands that will hold mine,
and give me the calmness for which I pine.
 
I sometimes feel that here he is
and when I'm with him, nothing else matters
and I feel that he wants the same,
but 'that' look in his eyes makes me shatter.
My heart cries and I seem lost, again
how do I make him see how good I feel with him?
 
Then it starts showing - my old fear;
that I will yearn for love and it will be nowhere near.
May be it is meant to be this way,
"Nobody's Sweetheart"- thats how I'll stay.
