Lost Love (MY PUBLISHED WORK)

Did you hear the news today? Love came and went away, And left me all alone to suffer. There's no need to apologize, you have arms that extend wide. You'll hold me and tell me it's all right. All I need is your kind words, a listening ear and a shoulder to rest my head, and be at peace with myself alone. I don't want another love. What I want is a friend. I don't need another love. What I need is a friend. You'll be there for me, and I for you. There's nothing more to ask. Through ups and downs, through the thick and thin, You're that someone I need around, what I need is a friend.
