Thousand Miles

I just try to impress you.
Walking till I find the path to you.
Searching endlessly
Looking for your heart.

I walked a thousand miles.
Then crawled a thousand more.
Dragged myself another thousand.
And collapsed in a strange land.

I made my thousand miles count.
Walking and experiencing.
Learning from others.
But I walked a thousand miles to find you.

You stayed where you were.
Stopped and stuck in your ways.
Complacent with mundane lifestyles.
Until my journey brought me to you.

I walked a thousand miles to find you.
Then crawled a thousand more.
Dragged myself another thousand.
And found you after one more mile.

My long journey.
Walking to you.
Worth the effort
For my other half.

I walked to you.
Passing others on the way.
Finding you with love.
And I felt like I had only walked 3 steps, instead of thousands of miles.
