For The One

Jeff Bresee 1970 (Idaho)



Love is a game, a journey of sorts,
a search for the one who is right.

And of all the seekers, just what do they know?
Are not all just travelers at night?

For it seems in darkness they search hill and dale,
hoping to find their true love.

Awash in the masses, a literal throng,
mixed in amongst push and shove.

And so as you seek, for to find it you must
consider what true love's about.

It's not about finding who you can live with,
but who you cannot live without.

About this poem
