Love is a theory that will cause you great pain, until you find a heart that wants the same as yours, then the theory turns into a dream and a dream becomes reality.

Look around you,
What do you see.
Smiling faces,
or pain and misery.
Listen closely to the cries,
Hear the children wailing through the night.
Watch the tears,
Run down mothers faces.
Follow the footsetps,
Of fathers leaving.
Try to tell me,
These things you aren't seeing.
Look around you,
Tell me you can't see,
The pain and misery,
In everything.
