Love Actually

I wanted to know all my life what love was
I search the valleys and peaks
I searched for days and weeks
I gave my time and stole glances
to know the truth I took many chances
I wandered far and near
in search of the one to call dear
the line faded as did my hopes
my fight was gone I was on the ropes
the tuth evaded me 
the search divided me
in the end I stopped in my tracks
and vowed to never look back
but then out of the blue it came
for I have had it all along
I looked within myself and found you there from the start
living within me in my heart
