Lost Looking for You

Amanda Lara

​

 

I look for you

​

like a dog looks for its owner

​

longing to see your face

​

or bump into you at the store.

​

I look for you

​

on the merry-go-round.

​

I look for you

​

to be at peace

​

when we look

​

into each other’s eyes

​

to feel the pain of our hurt,

​

to feel happily in love with you

​

just one more time.

​

I look for you

​

when things go dark,

​

when things go wrong

​

for you to make them right

​

and make things bright.

​

I look for you

​

to take me on another ride

​

in your Cadillac dream-ride,

​

I look for you 

​

in everyone’s face.

​

And now

​

I look at you in the ground

​

without a goodbye.

​

I’ll look for you.
