lonely people
don’t ask for love
yet
they search for it everywhere
in the random strangers
that they met at the grocery store
in the corners of alleyways
on their walk back home
and the cracks in between books on shelves at the library
you don’t notice them, normally
because of how quiet they are
they yearn for love
so deep in their soul
and desperately all over their body
humans are meant to be loved, after all
lonely people
don’t ask for love
but they deserve
the greatest love stories
ever told
