I Think I Will Always Look For You

Artwork by Useless Treasures

Our love will always be an unfinished business;
Incomplete, fragmented and missing,
Into the thin air,
Like a sunset that was never watched,
Our love will be.
Like a tear into the dust, our love will be.
Like a blank page in a beautiful book,
Our love will be.
Like a missing piece in a puzzle,
Our love will be.

Like when you grope for a specific expression
to match what you feel, but you can not phrase it.
Maybe it is a lexical lack
or you need to create a brand new word
to match that feeling inside of you.
Perhaps some feelings are never
put into words because they are more
eloquent when they are unsaid.

Just like our love,
With no closure ended and no explanation started.
Just in a blink, I found you and then did not.

You are the lesson of my life;
I think I am, too.
I think I will always look for you
in every mismatched and incomplete masterpiece.
