I Look To You

I look to someone
to love me as I am,
I look to someone
to show me they care,
and in that moment
when my heart
throbs and is painted
a deep deep blue,

I forget I already know
what I have to do;
to look to you -
the wind,
the ocean,
the shore,
you're always with me,
wherever I go;

and so I look to you -
to feel your blithe fingers
ruffle my unkempt hair,
to see those blue eyes
that hold my share
of the pain and joy
of solitude,
to hear you whisper
those three words
I so long to hear
but from another -
'I love you';

you're the wind
beneath my wings,
you're the ocean
who holds all,
you're the shore
for all seasons,
so why look
elsewhere at all?
