Finding love is easy but keeping it under your skin is hard
Sometimes it develops wings and flies away like a bird and can never be found again
Other times it stays until its destroyed by the conditions you subject it to
Cold or warm like a microbe whose life depends on temperature changes
I hope I make it stay when I find it
Hold tightly to it like a magnet
Wear it on my skin like a tattoo
Never be any prouder finding joy and peace at the end
I hope it’s not too late for me
To find love and forever sleep in its comfortable bed
no short cuts to finding love
no images of it showing up
driven by desperation, we can seek and find
be happy and own it
sometimes it brings joy other times tears like you needed time to be sure its yours.
so finding it can be hard
