Answers that I seek

Answers that I seek

Do you follow with your heart?

Do you listen to your head?

Do you go with your gut?

Do you do what all three have said?

Do you know when it is love?

Do you know what is lust?

Do you feel finding the answers make your brain turn to rust?

I for one have searched both high and low to find the

answers that I seek yet have always come

back home empty handed feeling tired and very weak

It is like I am a mighty hunter out on safari and I am

trying to track love down, trampling through the wet

muddy jungle in the rain without even making a sound

I keep finding traces everywhere but love was never to

be found. So I sit and I wonder to myself what I may be

doing wrong for I have tried everything that I have seen

at the movies and have listened to every single love song,

I have even learned how to dance at midnight out in

the cool summer's rain and I have even walked out on

the beaches from California up to Maine, I have laid out

on a blanket at night to look at all the stars up in the

beautiful night skies, wondering if my true love was

watching too just wondering where you are,

I have been searching this whole wide world both

near and far walking many miles and driving in my car. I

know that most people would have given up on love, a

very long time ago, but my soul knows that she is out

there and will never give up on hope, in my head I agree

that there must be someone out there for me, as my gut

can feel it too, while my heart just does not want to be

broken again and me? Well, I just want to fall in love with

someone who will love me too.
