In search of you
I walked down the road
Through alleys and corridors
In search of you
TRying to catch your eyes in the crowd
Sliding past glass windows for a sign
Of you
Your voice still rings in my ears,
As if playing with them constantly
Much like your lively, restless spirit
Your thoughts are fresh in my mind
They emerge from me
Become a hundred fireflies
And leave for the nightly bushes
In search of you
As if messengers of my yearning
They’ll keep my love alive in the wild
Even if this body may have fallen by the side
And have become dust
Maybe they’ll light the path
For someone lost in pursuit
Like a torch of endless hope
Or a bottomless pool of resolve
They can take a swig from
I have no rest, no home
I belong nowhere but in your arms
My footsteps will resound in these alleyways
Where we once played hide and seek
Around and around
And if my eyes finally close
Before finding you
And I fall apart
Maybe I’ll smile in relief
For whenever my eyes close
You have come alive to me
Then I’ll be home at last
Slowly wilting beneath the sunshine of your face
Shining bright in my memories
For where you’ll be, will be
My final resting
Where you’ll be, will be
My home at last.
