For the love you deserve, even if it isn't mine

I hope you find her

The one that'll make you grin from ear to ear

The one that'll make you want to spend the night awake

The one that you'd talk to for hours about everything and anything.

I hope you find her

The one that'll always be on your mind

The one you want to talk to before anyone else

Your safe space and comfort...

I really hope you find her

The one who makes you think if your actions are right

The one whose tears you can't see

And whose sad eyes crush you

I want you to find her

The one who will make you chalant enough

The one that will make you an even better man.

Because I'm not her.

Try as I may,

I just am not her.

About the Creator

Jemuel Esuga

I live within the pages of books,

I find solace in the lines on a blank page

I wield my pen like a sword and my paper like a shield.
