For too long I have felt alone
Too long have I have been on my own
My body has become weary and my heart even more
I feel as if I've been washed up on loneliness shore
I'm yearning to know who you are every day more and more
Every day has become long and full of disappointment
For every day from the dreams of the night
I know exactly what love looks like
I hold on to you for as long as I can
But the dreams pass quickly from my tightly clenched hand
And I lose you yet again
For that brief moment love had an identity
I knew who it was deep inside of me
Every morning I wake up and my dreams escape me
The fantasies that I had pass through me
Every morning I'm reminded of how fantasies are as yet untrue
Because every morning I wake without you
Whoever you may be I can't remember now
I hate realizing there's no one there to talk with
There's no one there to share my dreams with
No one to love with
I just want to be with you whoever you are
And every night as I close my eyes to go to sleep
I'm always on the verge of weep
Because I know I'm soon to be reacquainted with you
Whoever you may be I can't remember now
I just know your name is Love
And that is more than enough
Until I finally find out whoever you are
And I can finally answer the question
Who is love?
Because as of right now I haven't the slightest idea
I'm not dreaming you see

I very much enjoyed this. It captured my current state of feelings perfectly!
One thing did bother me here,
"I'm always on the verge of weep"
As it really should be "weeping."
Otherwise, nice... I could hear it being spoken (by myself I guess in my head) surging out... all honesty and heartfelt.
Keep writing.

I love this.. It's not really what I was looking for, but it is pretty much the best entry I have received in this contest, so it's a stayer
I like what you've expressed, and how you've captured the emotion.. And the question.. "Who is Love?" really speaks volumes.. Well done on such a great write and thank you for entering x
