Searching

Love in 50 Words

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

Searching, seeking

Looking deep into each set of eyes

Praying to find

A soulmate

Yet …

Each one

… Not …

Still, I sought

Daily more discouraged

Each search

A little less in depth

Until I hit that wall

Quit searching outward

Looked inward

There I found you

Looking back

love poems
