Searching For You the Right Way

wishing on the moon because stars are for kids

looking within because looking beneath the surface of skin holds more truth

holding back good dreams because the nightmares are more then beautiful

seeing a heart before a face because falling for someone's heart is more romantic 

searching for love instead of loss

longing for someone to call me beautiful because I want to feel loved 

waiting for forever because I know i'm not worth a week of your time

trying to find imperfect so my love will be perfect

hiding behind a mask to find someone to pull it off to show my true beauty to the world

holding the key in trembling hands wanting one to stop my trembling hands and take the key to my heart

to be perfect seems overrated though overrated seems more realistic to me

late night posting to wait for you to like it 

listening to sad songs to find the beat of my heart 

looking in the dark to see who would be the sunshine to my days

searching for a boy who sees life as I do 

watching love stories to find a trace of my love in them 

listening to the wind to hear your whisper
