Where are you, Love
I have looked for you for oh, so long
Searching crowded rooms
Peeking down aisles at the store
Knowing it was all in vain

I tried to replace you, but it's not the same.
But I try anyway.
Between nameless faces and ***** sheets
To love and lust and back again

Never once did it help, but I just couldn't stop
I searched for you  from high to low
Down on my knees I sought you out
But bruises were were all I received

But I could not find you, not at all
You weren't in his eyes
Nor were you on his tongue
But I let them have me anyway

I sent out search parties in your name
But they had nothing to show
We looked for you each night and day
But when we'd get close, you'd leave

But today I realized, that I will not find you
For you are  far too gone
I will never know your love
And you will never know me

Now who is more at loss, you ask
Whose cross is heavier to hold
It's not an answer I can give
For half the story I don't know

I may have wasted precious time
Looking for love you stole
But I found friends along the way
And you are all alone
