Searching For What's Not There Poem by Ray Hansell

It seems everyone is searching
For true love to have and hold
Something they can latch onto
As the years make them grow old

But does true love really exist?
Or is it just a state of mind
I’m sure many people keep on hoping
That love they’ll one day find

But if you truly love someone
There are things you must surrender
But how do forget loves pain from the past
When they seem to always be there to remember

To give true to someone
Means you also must trust
This you cannot debate
This is something that is a must

Some people search a lifetime
Seeking something they’ll never find
But is love worth searching for
Is seeking love always worth the time

I know of some people
Who may grow old all alone
The only thing not in their life’s
Was true love that others have known
