My Love Story

I searched for love in a book,

Between the lines of the story.

I hope to find love that looked

Like some enthralling eternal glory.

I searched for love in the stars,

That shined bright in the sky,

Hoping my lover's eyes will shine too,

Whenever I pass by.

I searched for love in the flowers,

Whose fragrance was soothing.

And wished for someone who smelt such,

That my senses feel like losing.

I searched for love in dreams,

Where I had a beautiful shape.

And my man looked handsome,

he was tall and worn a cap.

But I came to know my story is not in books,

And stars leave at sunrise.

Also that flowers have thorns too,

And beauty has to demise.

So then I started to open my eyes,

And look for love around me.

And I found it smiling at my face,

Breaking chains that bound me.

I'm glad I opened my eyes soon,

So I found happiness that I missed.

Love is a beautiful thing, you see.

Pain goes when you're kissed.
