His Lost Love

His Lost Love

He wants her
He needs her
He says he loves her
But he can’t find her

He has searched everywhere
On foot, by car, plane and boat
But she is gone

She vanished without saying good-bye
No note, phone call or message of any kind
Her friends and family can’t help him

He vowed to never stop
He refused to except the possibility of the worst
Day in and day out he looked for her

He could smell her perfume in the air
He followed the scent but it wasn’t her

He heard her laughter carried by the wind
He followed the sound but it wasn’t her

He thought for a moment he had seen her far ahead
He ran to her but it wasn’t her

He ran exhaustedly around the world
He finally came to terms that she was gone

He had nothing left inside of him
He was run down and hopeless

He looked intently at the ocean and decided to give up
He jumped and allowed the waves to carry his frail body away

He is now in a deep sleep that he will never awake from
And there she is, his lost love
She puts her hand to his and whispers in his ear
“You found me.”
