searching
I searched for you.

I went everywhere in the world but I still couldn't find a
clue.

Running around like a crazy person on the streets.

I asked every single person that I could meet


I searched for you.

A lot of people told me that what I was looking for wasn't

true.

Few said I will find you when I'm at peace.

My hope immediately increased.

I searched for you…

I'm tired… my time was soon due.

I sat on the grass outside of my house as I looked at the sky. It was blue.

I still couldn't find you. I want to cry so hard because of

the useless hope I had which I was starting to think

wasn't true.

I only know your name. Happiness, another word for joy.

The feeling I have wanted to experience since I was a

little boy.

My search for you has ended.

I'm laying on my deathbed, hopeless. I wish my time here

was extended.

I close my eye for the final time as tears leave my eyes.

All of my searches were just some pointless tries.

There is a little hope in my heart that, maybe, just maybe

there is happiness waiting for me in the afterlife.
