Looking for you
Looking for you in the shadows,
Finding your face and eyes in every passing person.
A car drives by—maybe it’s you behind the wheel?
This man is thin like you;
That one wears a baseball hat;
And that one is limping—
I imagine you might be in pain.
The world continues; the days are brighter,
Yet I am still searching for you—
Asking for the impossible,
Longing for understanding,
Seeking closure
Even after the final curtain closed.
The show is over;
We parted,
And went our separate ways.
My heart is not aching;
I have accepted this fate,
Yet I still struggle to understand.
Life goes on,
And I hope you’ve found happiness.
I have found peace.
