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.
