The Journey Through Hope and Heartache <3

I wonder if I’ll ever find that one

The soul who’s destined just for me alone.

What is this “one” that people speak of?

The one who’ll love me through each day

Unwavering, even when skies are gray.

The one who’d give their all, without a second thought

The one who’d fight for me, protect me from all storms

Would they truly exist beyond my dreams?

Or is it but a fantasy, a fleeting hope?

They say love is a wound that never heals

A relentless cycle of both joy and pain

A flame that flickers bright but leaves you cold

A riddle wrapped in shadows, hard to hold.

I hear love is elusive, hard to capture,

A treasure that slips through fingers, like sand.

Yet I still seek it with a fervent heart

Longing for a touch that means the world

Hoping for a gaze that speaks of endless devotion.

Friends and strangers tell me stories of heartache

Of love that fades, of promises broken.

They say it’s a struggle, a battle within

A maze of emotions where hope and fear collide.

Still, I persist in my quest for this rare gem

Searching for a connection that defies the odds

Yearning for a kiss that lingers,

A presence that makes me feel whole.

Though it may be a mirage in the desert of my dreams,

A figment of imagination’s whims,

I chase the vision of a love that endures

Believing despite the pain, despite the doubts.

For in this relentless pursuit

In every hopeful breath and tender wish,

I find a reason to keep moving forward

Even if the one I seek is lost to the stars.
