What?

What am I looking for?
I yearn for something I have no clue of,
I wish of something I don't know..

Is it the trill of life?
The adrenaline running through my veins,
Trembling with excitement.

Or maybe the moral of life?
The lessons our days teach us,
What we harness throughout our lives.

Perhaps the freedom life can offer?
The cool breeze, guiding the way
Helping birds fly high.

Or rather the achievements one can have?
Medals and thropies, shining with pride,
Papers and pictures with you on them.

So many good things in life.. 
what do I truly I yearn for?
 
Oh my.. I forgot two more.
Has my mind been wandering this far?

I think I'm chasing for wealth!
That has got to be it!
The feeling of being able to aquire anything I sought,
The fact I can get whatever I want in just a blink!

No... that isn't it.
It doesn't have the same warmth in my heart..

Does that mean... 
I'm wishing for warmth?

The warm embrace of a person I love,
Such love so pure, from all this over thinking...
Have I forgotten what it felt?..

I want to isolate myself,
I am emotionally dry..
But, with the warmth I recall..
I end up submitting to the heat,
With tears I hold back, I lean in..

Yet.. I still don't know what I want..
Not remembering how it feels..
Who am I to be sure love is what I want?

What do I long for?
What?....
