BOUNDLESS SEARCH

 

For where is it that I search

That man to make my heart glow,

I wonder, is it you, is it him,

Why is it so hard to know?

 

Why is it through all my searching

For that perfect man,

That all I meet seem to come up short

From all that I demand.

 

Maybe it is that I’m just too picky

When it comes to the one I seek,

Turning away all others the seem

To have too many flaws for me.

 

I seek to share a love so strong

That keeps two souls together,

But is there really such a thing

That binds one to another?

 

How easy it is to fall in love

How hard it is to hang on,

For one day you will be on top of the world

The next day he is gone.

 

Many I know say, ‘Do not fret

For one day he will come,

Into my arms he will fall

And you two shall become one.’

 

But who’s to say the one I find

Will love me back again,

Or shall he seek someone else

And say, ‘Well maybe I should just your friend.’

 

For when I find someone who seems

To be all that I dream,

No matter how hard I try to be

I’m just not the one for him.

 

Would it not be easier to give up

Searching for love all around,

Than to end up each day finding pain and hurt

For that with which cannot be found?

 

Maybe I am just trying too hard,

Maybe love shall stumble onto me,

Maybe there are just some of us

So were meant to be alone and free.

 

For all it is worth I shall not give up

Seeking for my true love,

I know he is out there somewhere, searching

So that we may become one.
