My Search Has Ended

All this time of searching

and insecurity at heart

I was unable to find that one true thing

able to keep me in line

my heart was lost for love

unable to grasp the floating veins

of the hearts, the so many hearts

drawing me to them

drowning me in their blood

but now for the first time in forever

my heart has begun to realize

that my loss of love was my searching

my looking too far

looking too hard

only causing me to fail

for if I had looked right in front of me

no further than right next door

one step, one breath away

my search for completion would have been over

would have ended sooner than now

your warm eyes and open heart

allow me to enter at my own risk

leaving my fragile heart in your capable hands

all i ever needed

was what took me 5 months too long to figure out

all I ever wanted was an honest love

a hope for a lasting future

growing closer every day

and respect for who I am

all I wanted was someone trusting

who would allow me to care and be there

who would allow me to help

and let me fail and succeed

without criticism or judgement

all I ever needed was to find this special someone

and my search would have ended

but it took me far too long

until I closed my dreams and opened my eyes

to see you standing by me
