Many a time, I have looked for you
And seen only masks.
Many a summer, I have walked through
Fields and searched.
Even in spring, with the world abloom,
I didn't find my rose.
Tears come so easily in loneliness.
Pain comes with time.
A single heart cannot see its chance
To right the wrong.
I miss what I have never kissed,
What I have not held.
How long does a heart long for unattained
Desires and needs?
When does love reach its own end?
Times bring change
To many points and longings. Winds
Blow time by slowly.

So much time--
Wasted.
So much effort--
Gone.
So many days--
Lost.
How long have I
Been looking--
Searching--
Hoping--
For that perfect fit?
My other half?
You stand in the Corner--
Watching,
Calling,
Trying to catch
My eye.
The author of this
Hole,
You know,
You hold
The answer--
My heart's need.
