I looked for my beloved

in my cravings

but the more I gave of myself

the more it became elusive

 

I tried finding solace

In the arms of another

But the more I did

the more it became elusive

 

I kept looking for my beloved

outside of myself

but the more I did

the more it became elusive

 

It pained so much

I decided to look within

There I found my beloved

It was all I imagined
