I searched for you
through cold hard winters
over long hot summers
I searched for you
under boulders and rocks
deep in the forest and in caves
I searched for you
far out at sea
deep under the ocean
I searched for you
below the earth and in the sky
but you had gone
disappeared somewhere
still I searched for you
in my blinding memories
wond'ring if you were lost
confined by distant stars
perhaps secretly dwelling
in my intimate dreams
but you had gone
someplace somewhere
somehow
all I ever found
some tiny bit of you
remained in my heart
where you once lived
fully and completely
having mended my shattered life
such a special passionate place
where you once breathed
where we once loved
then ominous darkness interfered
still I searched for you
throughout the unclear night
but like the fading morning stars
you forever disappeared
