one day, love will find you

one day, love will find you.

you will sit softly in a chair

and you will drink your wine

and a smile will never leave your face.

you will be content

you will not be wanting.

it will not be a knock on your door

with red roses and fairy tales.

it will not read like a storybook

it will not be a hymn or a song

or a dream run over and over.

it may not even be there for you to hold.

you may not see it when it finds you

but you will know.

and you will no longer cry

the kind of tears in your eyes.

and just when you could see through those tears,

you will no longer be looking.

when you do

look me up

i will remember your name.

give me the pleasure to tell you

i told you so.
