Here's What I'm Lookin' For

Here's What I'm Lookin' For

It's important to know
      What we're lookin' for.

I'm lookin' for someone
      To love for a while,
To smile,
      To play like children again,
            Laughing at every screwball
                  The world throws at us,
            Especially ourselves.

 I'm lookin' for a pair of lips
      That don't stop kissin',
Kisses you miss,
      Make me live every day
            Second to second,
                  Every one a year.

I'm lookin' for eyes
       That laugh,
Spy out paths through the dark
       That I'd never thought to tread,
Throw open the windows to the world
       And go diving in.

I'm lookin' for someone
       To get lost with,
       To get overwhelmed with,
       To crash madly in love with,
       To step back,
            Stand still,
                 And watch the madness unfold
                      In all its majesty.
                 Someone to hold her hand
            As we lose track of the days
       To whenever,
            Whenever,
                 Whenever the Fates say,
                      "Let go."
