His Lost Love

His Lost Love He wants her He needs her He says he loves her But he can’t find her He has searched everywhere On foot, by car, plane and boat But she is gone She vanished without saying good-bye No note, phone call or message of any kind Her friends and family can’t help him He vowed to never stop He refused to except the possibility of the worst Day in and day out he looked for her He could smell her perfume in the air He followed the scent but it wasn’t her He heard her laughter carried by the wind He followed the sound but it wasn’t her He thought for a moment he had seen her far ahead He ran to her but it wasn’t her He ran exhaustedly around the world He finally came to terms that she was gone He had nothing left inside of him He was run down and hopeless He looked intently at the ocean and decided to give up He jumped and allowed the waves to carry his frail body away He is now in a deep sleep that he will never awake from And there she is, his lost love She puts her hand to his and whispers in his ear “You found me.”
