I searched for love in my garden,
Parting each flower’s petals,
I searched through briars and brambles,
Pricking my fingers on the nettles
I searched for love in the heavens
Where God and the angels are,
While floating on a cloud, I searched,
Only to bump my head on a star
I searched for love at the seashore,
Scouring each tide, high and low,
When a wave carried me away
I almost drowned in the undertow
I searched for love in the desert,
Sifting sand through my fingers,
Burned by the sun, I choked from thirst,
The torment of it all still lingers
I searched for love among the ruins
Of a heartbreak I overcame,
I found not a trace…. all was gone,
Not a single dream was left to claim
If searching for love brings such pain,
What can I do about it?
Nothing! I’ll keep searching for love,
It’s more painful living without it
