The Helpless Search


Another day I return to my bed Another search again with no end I remember the moment I saw you You were different than anyone I ever knew You did a good job of blending into the background I listened intently, but you never made one sound I stared at you longingly in the glistening sunlight You shined in the sun when it hit you just right In my soul i knew I'd never see you again Every good beginning has its own tragic end. I remember the night I help you in my hands The tone of your body was a beautiful tan Tonight I return to my home all alone The memory of you still swims through my bones Your small body will forever be hidden I suppose that means our love is forbidden I'll never forget the day I found you on land I'll search forever for that one grain of sand
