I Have Searched
I have searched my entire life
For a man as good as you are to me
I have longed since childhood
For someone to believe in me
I have walked a thousand miles
For a love I didn't find until now
I have spent all my life
I have spent all my time
Crying until now
I once dreamed of a love so true
I pondered on thoughts of passion
I wondered if I would ever feel it
And now I have this devotion
Searching myself I wonder
How long can true love last
When it is tortured so
Will it be rescued at last
Can distance and time make us strong
Or will it tear us apart
The thought of losing you makes em weak
Knowing there would be distance to start
I don't know how much more
That my heart can take
I've been packing my heart with ice
And putting everything I have at stake
Yet is love enough to carry
All this weight and sorrow I feel
This horrid abandonment that consumes me ?
