I searched for you

I could not bear
The thought of you
Not being there
So I searched for you
Everywhere

I walked the streets
Searching for you
Asking people along the way
If they had seen you
But no one seemed to know
Where you had gone

I left the city
In search of you
I walked miles and miles
Through rugged terrains
Asking and seeking
But I could not find you

Now I am old and weary
I can no longer search for you
I can only carry your picture
In my wallet
So that I could remember you
The way you were
When you left
