Drafts Of A Book

I need it,
I need it to strengthen my spirit.
I need her,
I need her to warm my soul.

Because she's the only way,
She's the only one,
Who can help me find
My so hidden essence!

This is not a love poem…
This is not another one among many…
This is a search for something,
A something that only she possesses!

And I don't know what…
Is it happiness?
I really don't know, but...
I know she has it!

How can you pursue something that's far away?
How can you hold her in your arms?
You cannot, just take it away
And if you need her, but she doesn't need you?

I really need answers,
As I need her with me!
I want to say everything to her,
With only a single word.

I won't get the answer,
By just swimming in self pity!
She isn’t that special!
This is not a love poem,
Another one among many!
