Missing

I keep looking but I can't find you
Can't help the feeling I've passed right by you
Eyes green, brown, yellow, or blue?
What do you look like
What defines you

Are you kind and caring
Or distant but always sharing
Do you like to go out and drink
Or stay in and snuggle till you fall asleep
Are you meek or outspoken
Have you ever been broken
Can you sing, do you play guitar,
Will you sit with me and stare at the stars
Do you like to swim or dance
Will you tell me if I even have a chance

With a girl like you
So pretty, so true
Or are you a false idol
Something for me to attain to

What's real, what's not
Will you remember me
Or will I be forgot

Do you plan on being a lawyer, a nurse, an engineer?
Is your voice pleasant to hear
Are you skinny, big, or in between
Do you want to fall in love with me

What will you see in me
That I'm kind and caring
Or will my flaws be far too glaring

Will you see I'm lost and broken
And tell me you can't fix me
Will you be the one to set me free

From this cage I live in everyday
From the melodramas of this drawn out play

I know you're out there
Just not sure if I'll find you in time
Before I give up and run out of words to rhyme

Have I met you already
Are you already going steady
What will it take for you to choose me
Will you simply like me for me

Or will there be some battle
Where I win you over in the end
Is that true love
Anyone could defend

Cause lovin is easy
And hating even more so
But what's hard is commitment
To someone else's happiness

I need the support
Tired of coming up short
Will my failures pay off one day
Will I have someone who stays

Why do things have to be this way
Where did I go wrong
Is it cause I can't sing a song
Or swoop my hair back and forth
Will I ever feel your warmth?

Where are you
Have you gone missing
Are you still listening
Where will you be when this all ends
Are you looking to the sky
Wondering if you'll ever meet him

Or are you content on your path
Have you already done the math
That you can get by without a guy like me
That you've already found what makes you happy

Well if I don't find you one day
Or you don't think I'm worth the stay
Then I hope you still find happiness

I hope we both find our own bliss
But I know your love will always be missed
