I AM NOT ALONE

I find myself walking,

Walking along a road,

A road that no one knows about

And a road that never seems to end.

I keep walking

In search for someone

Or something to guide me

In the wilderness of my life.

There is no one there.

I close my eyes,

Thinking about someone to tell me

How to live, act, and behave on this earth.

And when I opened my eyes,

I found you there,

Waiting for me

At the end of the road.

I keep walking

Until I reach you,

And you are then

The closest person near me in the world.
