Somebody Love Me

This poem probably best epitomizes my low points and my frustration in being unable to find a girlfriend.  It's from my high school years, and it's definitely from a period before I gave this part of my life over to God.

If you see me and wonder
Why I'm so sad,
It's because I'm thinking
Of the love I never had.

I never seem to have
Anything in common with girls.
I'm not their idea of a perfect guy
Or what they're looking for in the world.

Somebody love me
Before I grow old.
Somebody love me.
I need somebody to hold.

I always regain the courage to try
And always fall back in defeat.
I fell in love many times
But the girl for me I never meet.

If somebody likes me,
Would they please make it known?
They don't know what hell it is
To always be alone.

Somebody love me
So at last I can feel great.
Somebody love me
Before it's too late.

I need somebody to hug,
To kiss and hold tight.
Someone who'll share my love.
This feels like a losing fight.

The reasons for the "no's"
Are never, ever the same.
I can't get mad at anybody
"Cause I only see myself with the blame.

Somebody love me
And let me know that you care.
Somebody love me
And always be there.

I try to be as nice as I can.
Why should I have to wait?
No one seems to think I'm worth
Even a little date.

What don't they see in me?
Aren't I good enough?
I feel I'm getting treated
Just a little bit too rough.

Somebody love me.
Hold me close and tight.
Somebody love me
Before I give up the fight.

What seems to be the problem?
How perfect do I have to be?
It doesn't really seem fair.
Why doesn't somebody love me?
