Where You Look

it is never where you look for it
you find it when you aren't looking
it kind of takes you by surprise
before you know it you are hooked

there isn't any type of warning
you just can't hide from the storm
looking for that place that's dry and warm
to sleep safely in a lover's arms

is that wondrous feeling close?
is what I seek far or near?
will I know it when I find it?
how much longer do I persevere?

it is never where you look for it
you find it when you aren't looking
it kind of takes you by surprise
I know I'm ready to be hooked
