Love: A Journey

THE ONE

Are you out there?

Waiting for me at the end of these road map scars,

Can your smile renew the cacoon in my belly,

Help it give birth to a whole new species of butterfly?

Can you resurrect a love buried in a heart this broken?

Can you prove to me that those three words are more than just a eulogy of my past attempts at finding you?

That my internal campus is just broken,

So I've just been searching for you in all the wrongs places,

That you exist,

That you are real,

That you are on the way,

That you are simply running late,

Caught up somewhere in the traffic of your own mistakes,

That very soon I'll see you in a crowd and recognize you instantly,

That you will see the blisters on my feet and know immediately that it's you I've have been searching for so desperately,

Because honestly,

I'm starting lose all hope of finding you,

Maybe it's time for me to wake up from you,

Maybe you are a dream I will never catch up to no matter how hard I chase after you,

Or maybe I'm the one that's drifted too far out of your reach,

Maybe I've lost myself trying to find you,

Maybe I'll have to find myself to find you,

And maybe... Just maybe... I'll never find myself,

Maybe I was too late and someone else found you first,

Maybe you don't care that he'll never love you half as much as I could,

Maybe you okay with that,

Because maybe you got tired of waiting for me,

Maybe you too started to doubt that I am real,

That I exist,

That I am on the way,

That I am simply running a little late,

That I got so caught up in the traffic of my own mistakes that I simply gave up on looking for you,

Maybe I was the one that gave up on you,

And maybe.. Just maybe... I was the one..

Maybe you were too.
