I’ve searched for you
A garden of colors - so full of delight,
Perhaps I’m not blowing, not winds in the night.
My hands may have touched, my eyes may have seen,
Perhaps you are near me - just haven’t been seen.
I’ve searched for you morning to evening skies,
Still looking for you, no rest in my eyes.
I glance all around - strangers everywhere,
The gem of my heart - yet you're not there.
Maybe you’re close, as close as my soul,
You hear how my heartbeat silently rolls.
Yet here I am, spinning like a moth in flame,
With my head in a book, still calling your name.
I am the one that God chose for you,
And perhaps we've met - if only you knew.
Our gazes have crossed, time and again,
Yet I never noticed - lost in the pain.
Unknowingly, I’ve searched you through time,
And still, I seek without reason or rhyme.
This love - divine, beyond all measure,
Might be right here, yet unseen treasure.
Who are you, truly? Where do you stay?
What are you made of? Why so far away?
