Lonely Hearts

"Can someone make my simple wish come true?
Do you live in North London? Is it you?"

I think this poem is about a woman who is looking through the ads in the paper trying to find a possible partner. According to the wide range of people she is looking at, she seems to be very desparate to find love. As it is repeated several times, the reader can infer that she is looking for someone close to her in North London. The differences in the people could stand for all the different things she is looking for in a relationship. This could also stand for everything she is willing to try to maybe excite her life. I get the impression that she is very sad and, as the title states, lonely. So she could be looking for someone unlike her to change who she is.
