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.”
