Seeking Someone Special

If you are in the midst of seeking someone special, Don't let that great thief of hope "Discouragement", Cause you to abandon your dream. Discouragement can put blinders On the seekers and cause them to Carelessly grasp on to a relationship That might have a worm in the middle. Hope deferred can induce some people To rely upon Brief intimate encounters to satisfy Their long standing loneliness. The danger in this kind of hasty gratification is The users become impatient and lose sight Of the pleasures offered by A time proven cloudless companionship. Intolerance causes them to look for satisfaction In any abrupt incident, After which they rationalize, "I won't count this time. This time was only for my need." But, "this time", and all the others will count. They count as surely as the calories In a piece of chocolate cake Tally up the sin of gain to someone on a strict diet. Every lascivious encounter leaves a scar In the cradle of the mind. And, each can become as experience Recalled with damaged pride. Anything of an unnatural nature That is repeated in excess Is difficult to eliminate. There is some for you! Someday, somewhere, somebody will say something, Or do something that will touch your emotions in a most positive way. Be true to yourself. Then, when you make the right connection You will understand what it is to be grateful.
