Twenty years of searching

A long lost shadow of youth.
Walks along beside me.
Holding the key of truth.
To show me who I am to be.

Twenty years of life.
That I have overcome.
Only to put behind me.
Oh- how the years run.

These years of life.
I have been searching.
For eternal love almighty.
Thats only left my heart yearning.

Something more that I've been given.
To find someone the same.
Who's hearts been kept hidden.
Making me play this game.

Why should I be searching?!
When you are by my side.
This love shouldn't hurt me.
Maybe its a lie.

Oh- how I've dreamed of you.
To be with me this long.
Your love for me, you'll have to prove.
Otherwise, my youthful heart,
Will be gone.
