Why are you looking for love
Did you receive it enough when you were young
Why are you running away from commitment
Did you not have any when you were growing
When the wind blows
Where do you look to
Are you heading it on
Or are you letting it carry you
Through the days
The months and the years
Where are you going
Is it to hell
Are you trying to be alive in any way
With others in a bed
Or with others and bottles
With a smoke
Or being wide awake in your room at night alone
Listen to the wind
Let it guide you
Not the whispers from a lover
The wind will blow from your heart
Face it while leaving all your hardships melt away
When you find yourself either with the friends you began your journey
Or with new ones who seem to push you towards the wind
Remember that the old friends are in memory, and that you can cherish
And the new ones are there to motivate you
Or carry you if you need it
And when you're in the deep
When your thoughts are low and the wind isn't howling anymore
With bugs and insects carrying the night on.
Remember the memories
Remember your friends
And not your troubles
For if you think wrongly
Doors will open pushing you away from your heart
I wrote this when I was very tired and about to fall asleep
