Some Where

I thought that there was some where,
some where I would be liked and loved.

      I looked for that place,
      but I never looked straight ahead.

I thought what I was looking for,
may have well been dead.

    dead of every soul and spirit,
    tears I cried for that special place.

I looked around,up and down,
as my tears kept flowing like an endless stream.

    I thought I lost my only dream,
    I saw through the dark and thought I saw light.

but it was a never ending sight,
I blinked an still there it stood.

  exactly 4'11 with pretty eyes and hair,
  it stood there nice and tall, like I wasn't even there.

I stared and saw a beautiful face,
a unique individual, someone different.

  I realized that that person was me,
  I cried because I was a sight to behold, to cherish.

I smiled and dried my eyes,
an at that moment I promised to never cry.

  my special place hadn't died,
    I just never looked at what was in front of me.
