I am filled with loss, sadness, and boredom
I miss life before the pandemic came
I wish to go back, back to happiness
Back to when I had my friends and had dance
A lot of times I am very wild
But now that I am older, I want love
Someone who can understand me for me
Someone who I want to spend my time with
Who will bring me happiness and bring love
I need that during these hard and tough times
I have a need to fill this empty void
I’m doing all the wrong things and the right
But everything happens for a reason
and so will the love I truly desire
