Gone, As With the Wind

It was dark and cold as he wandered the streets of Chicago Strangers were the only people he saw, he had no friends Searching nightly, he had never found her, the one he sought He needed to find her, for without her, his destiny ends Strangers were the only people he saw, he had no friends He was new to the city, but felt welcomed, when their eyes met Two in a crowd, for a moment, they shared a glance A face of an angel, truly a face he would never forget Searching nightly, he had never found her, the one he sought For she wandered in to the crowd and was lost then from view He ran, he stopped, he started again, searching everywhere Until, as the sun had gone down, his spirit did, too He needed to find her, for without her, his destiny ends He feels in his heart, that the two of them were destined to be Alas, he could not find her, in this big cold dark windy place But he would never stop trying, else his heart shan’t be free
