Answers that I seek.

Answers that I seek

When it comes to love I have

always wondered 

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 like 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

I go 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 in the morningfrom California up to Maine, I have

laid out on a blanket at night to

look up at all the stars in the

beautiful night skies, wondering

if my true love was

watching too just wondering

where you are tonight 

I have been searching this

whole wide world both 

near and very 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 it will never give

 up on hope, in my head I must agree

that there must be someone

out there waiting just for me,

as my gut I know it

can feel it too, while my heart

just does not want to be

broken again after it has finally

healed and me? Well, 

I am not holding my breath

so I guess I will just wait and

see because all I really want

is to fall in love with 

someone who will also love me.
