I Looked for You *I looked for you in the wadi* *I looked for you by the banyan tree* *I felt your presence* *But you did not appear* *I looked for you by the sea* *And a mermaid came and told me* *She knows where you are* *Gave me hope somehow* *I looked for you in the sky* *I saw a dove fly* *She told me she knows* *Where I can find you* *I looked for you in the meadow* *Lovely flowers bowed their heads in the breeze* *Nodded when I asked about you* *I felt comforted* *I looked for you in the desert* *Up and down the massive dunes* *The wind came and whispered* *That he knows where you breathe* *The moon rose in the stars-sprinkled sky* *She whispered to me* *That she knows you are well* *I felt relieved* *I fell asleep on a mossy covering of forest floor* *I dreamed of you* *I awoke to the songs of birds* *All telling me that they know where you are* *A butterfly alit nearby on a lovely wild flower* *I thought of you* *I thought of me* *Please butterfly* *May you tell my love* *Tell her all* © Régis Auffray

I'd hold back a tale or two
You know how those butterflies are
Flitting from one lover to another.

Sometimes, we look for our loved ones, and they are not there. Either they left us or have passed. I still search for my brother's face in the crowd.

More than a physical love you seem to be looking for, something more like fulfillment on a spiritual level. Deep.

There's lots of heartfelt longing in this beautiful write. Could it be you're looking for love in all the wrong places?
