Why Do I Fail at Love?

Why do I fail at love?
Seeing that perfect sunset
Go behind a cloud;
That special meal, lost
When I’m not hungry?

My heart keeps growing
For someone out there.
Where is she?
Who is she?
Will I ever know love?

This feeling won’t ever
Leave my heart;
It’s there forever and
We’ll not be apart;
She’s there I know.

We write our book
Trying as we go;
Accepting the ending
While needlessly defending,
Seeing love for what it is.

Love just is,
Not what we want,
Not what we need;
But anything and everything;
She’s always been there.

All there's left to do
Is open my eyes
And see the view;
It's there before me;
And always was.
