Looking for love

Looking for love 

Is looking for Heartbreak.  

Because when it all ends  

And we pry ourselves apart  

I cannot return to myself,

To my loneliness  

Because with you 

And with you 

And you too,

My lovers,

I thought I'd found it

Love. 

I’m still always wondering if my elders sold me a dream  

Or I just tried to make their dreams fit into mine?  

You are always running through my mind  

Like I ran my fingers through your curls.  

I remember you best  

With your eyes shining in the glow of the morning sunshine. 

I remember the curtains open to the street 

Because we were proud of our nakedness. 

At your worst, you were screaming and always tasting of beer and regret. 

So I keep kissing other lovers  

But I’m always looking for your eyes  

My brown eyes tell lies,  

I've done it many times, 

“Believe me I'm not looking for love”  

Because I reason,

You can leave but you can't take my love with you.

Without you, you live on inside my heart and mind

Forever?
