Analysis of I keep searching.

dianejean57 1957 (Swansea, MA)



I keep searching.

I tried to chase love all around, but it runs, hides, and moves all around. Maybe if I could be me, but I find that confounding. Can someone come and give me a hug? I would be happy for that, and it would make me sound. I cry at night all alone and see a bright light by the side of my phone, waiting for love that is never around. Many nights of sleep allure me. I stay up and wait for love to find me. I wish I had a soft kiss. Then I would be blessed. I hope it's not too late. I am old, and I can't wait. I'm sorry, but I think it's too late.
