Love

I looked for you in poetry
I looked for you in dreams
I looked for you in tears
I looked for you in screams

I looked for you in heartache
I looked for you in happiness
I looked for you in gluttony
I looked for you in emptiness

I looked for you in pain
I looked for you in pride
I looked for you in nature
I looked for you inside

And now
I've found you
I can see you
But I want to run and hide

I've found you
I can feel you
Something new has come alive

I've found you
I can hold you
But never long enough

I've found you
I can love you
I just can't speak my words

I've found you
I can lose you
Was I better off just looking?
