Forever Searching

She walks the streets of this vast city, 
looking in alleys and corners gritty. 
Hoping to find love's tender smile, 
but instead finds loneliness in all the miles. 

He roams the streets of this vast town, 
staring forlornly at the dirty ground. 
Despair has taken its final hold. 
The lack of her love has left him cold. 

They pass each other on their way, 
neither having a single word to say. 
Two empty lives drifting aimlessly, 
wanting a love that will never be.

Hello Ron, it is to bad they passed each other along the way. If they would have noticed each othere , they would not feel alone. Enjoy your day my friend /Darlene/
