The One

The One

A whole lifetime spent searching for the one

Led to paths both young and fun

Alas! the mind told, let’s stop this now

The hour has come, take on the plough

For what you desire lives in books

Meant for those with money or looks

There is a journey you must take

For all the others and your sake

So, we walked the road all had taken

Too coward, forbid the boat be shaken

Feeling a mirth that often left quickly

Leaving behind emptiness, oh so gently

Oh! but fate is a cruel joker mon ami

Never leaving you to truly heal or just be

For it works the mind and ignores the soul

Moving you on towards the next goal

So we chose company as the measure

Ignoring passion thinking it was a leisure

The mind can be fooled but not the other

For he went away, and faded into the cold winter

Do come back my dear, I will try harder

To love deeper and to laugh louder

For hope is my friend and resolve my power

I will love you myself, for you are The One, from now and forever
