Only when I’m hungry
only when
enough
is not really enough
you see, only when I’m hurting
only when the world crushes all of my dreams
only then do I look for you
wait on answers before I move
seek you
like those books say I should
hands clutching tightly
as it all just slips by
it’s at those times I need you
and want you by my side
but when its –
sun
joy
laughter
and parties to go to
warm smells of delicious
and music to dance to
people to kiss
lovers to hold on to
endless
endless
endless
another year set aside for singing
when its –
arms flung open wide for loving
when dreams are all revealed to me
and destinies all fulfilled through me
when I have
enough
more than enough even
plenty of all the right things
none of all the wrong things
when it’s all here
like I’d hoped for
I forget that you’re still in it
and you,
in silence
or in thunder, if needed
jealous lover, you call me back
reminding me that you’ve never left my side
-soo
