Misplaced Love

Oh where did you go?

I used to have you trapped in my heart.

I held you tight and near as I protected you in fear.

Perhaps I could lose love and become like those who've caused me tears.

I guess I squeezed you to tight trying to keep you all wrapped up in my tiny wanting heart.

You escaped not long ago, but I know you are near cause today I saw you through my eyes,

felt you in a strangers touch, seen you in a smile today, and heard you in a voice down the way.

Love stay near and help me grow, silly me, I didn't know

you needed space, air and to be shared.
