Love Story

One day I started searching for love

I went to places high
And to places low,
Places filled with happiness
Others full of sorrow

Every time I slowed  

I looked around,

But it looked like my love

Was nowhere to be found

I kept going on 

Through day and night,

I felt I was struggling

In this eternal fight

I met new people

Of every kind

It wad heart breaking

To leave them behind

I did not know 

This search could get so long

But I did not quaver 

I remained strong

And then I realized 

With a jolt,

I brought my search

To an immediate halt

How can you love another

If you do not love yourself?

After all who knows me best

The way I know myself?

One day I started searching for love,

And that day I found myself
