Is the Search Over

For twelve times
	twelve months
I have searched
	for the love
I first found with you.

After a hundred times
	a hundred thousand footsteps
I have again arrived
	at your doorstep
awaiting your love.

For two times
	two hundred million heartbeats
my lonely soul
	has searched for love,
at least to give it
	if not to receive it.

Now only you can answer
the hardest question I could ask.

Is my search over?
