Sojourn

I was already looking for love to find myself. I was looking outside to find it.

Part 1 — Lost

Even before I knew who I was,
I knew something was missing inside.

I was always chasing.
Running toward unfitting people,
looking for a love that only lived in my imagination.

I remember a sunset.
Surrounded by people, surrounded by love,
and still empty, still searching.

I was looking for an equal I did not know how to describe.
The chaos was not coming from outside.
My mind and my heart were already in it.

I didn’t have the words for what I was looking for.
I’m not sure I have them now either.
But now I know that is part of it.

Even then, even before all of it,
I was already looking for love to find myself.
I was looking outside to find it.
