I Can't Stop Searching

I wanted to meet you for so long,

But over the years I gave up hope.

I thought maybe it’s better to be alone.

I can’t help waiting for you though.

Searching,

Sifting through my days,

hoping you’ll somehow magically appear.

I’m a fool.

What can I say?

Maybe I’m a romantic at heart.

I still want to meet you.

I know things won’t be as simple

or as cheesy as in the books and movies.

I know relationships take work on both sides.

I can’t help thinking you’ll be worth it though.

Are there sure soulmates for everyone?

I don’t know.

Maybe all I will find

are some loyal friends and a wonderful cat.

That doesn’t sound half bad.

BUT…

I long for you with an intensity that defies reason.

I believe you exist despite any logic otherwise.

You are important to me in a way I don’t understand.

I may say I’ve given up,

But we both know

I will keep hoping and searching until

I find you or I perish.

So please,

if you are out there,

don't stop searching for me too.
