The quest of my heart

from this time onwards,
my heart never stops running,
I'm tired of breathing oxygen,
my heart longs for the inhalation
of the fresh mint of happiness

my heart never stops swooping down
the rivers of destiny,
there are many fish in the sea,
where is mine?
where is she?
where is the one?

from this time onwards,
my heart never stops running,
my lips, seeking the embrace of another,
till sorrow does me part,
and the world unfurls with brightness,
to smile at my heart's new resting place,
the day all these tears shall freeze,
and sadness shall melt away like the ice of wickedness,
where my eyes travels to a perfect wilderness,
thinking of her dearly,
till I sink in beautiful dreams,
and dissolve in eternal happiness

I'm waiting to feel the arms
of the one with a pure heart,
one whose words showers snowflakes
in the summer,
one whose comforts sheds leaves
in the spring,
one whose eyes sing the melody of joy,
a lullaby of my heart,
till I am intoxicated with extraordinary bliss,
till I fly high over the mountains,
and raise my hands to the world,
shouting out that I've found the one.
