Surviving Heartbreak

In The Eyes Of Another

We walk through crowded rooms,

Eyes scanning faces like

We're searching for something sparkling,

Someone that fits just right,

Like a puzzle piece to our own jagged edges.

But we've got it wrong—

We think there's a perfect mold,

A shape that clicks with ours,

When in truth,

We're all just trying to make it work

With someone, anyone.

There are no "ugly" people,

Only those who don't stike us

Like lightning at first glance.

They might not light up our skies,

But they'll be someone's sunrise,

Someone's unexpected thunderstorm.

What I see as plain,

Another might see as perfection.

And that's the beauty in it all.

So I wait,

Not for someone to make me gasp,

But for the moment I feel it—

That WOW

I've been told only happens in movies,

That spark that ignites in someone's gaze

And makes my heart stutter.

And I know,

I am worthy of being awed by love,

Worthy of being someone's "WOW,"

Just as someone out there 

Will someday be mine.
