I wrote this back when I was in college trying to understand why we seek love. I’m still trying to understand that.

A night without
A night within
Just searching for something old
Something only I can win

I search alone
I search for one
One that holds the old in new
New beginnings to have done

The old is brought as new to me
It is something I have never had
And someday I’ll find the one
The one I shall fill and shall take away her sad

A night without
A night within
I search for someone just right
And she searches for me within

I search my world
She searches hers
Someday we’ll find each other
Someday we’ll be great winners

The old is brought as new to us
It is something we have never had
And someday we’ll find our way
The way that shall fill our hearts and make us so glad

    I enjoyed reading the poem, Milton. It seems we are always searching for something in life. Good work.

    I loved this poem! This brings to mind the song “Looking for Love in all the wrong places. Where is that destined love? Only time will tell!

    Perhaps Milton, you are trying too hard.
    True love will come in the natural flow of things so lighten up a little because your new love – as the old song says ‘Love is Just Around the Corner’.
