Sometimes I wonder
where did you go
and why I didn’t know
But you were always
a mystery to me
always just a theory

I am always looking
always in the woods
listening for your air
and searching for
your breath

But where can I find you
where should I go
how will I know which
cave to brave
and which tree to chop
when you haven’t
left me a sign
of you

How can I
keep searching
when I’m looking
through space

for someone I love
who doesn’t want to be found?
