revisiting the past

my colleague at work just sent me a lovely poem about love that was lost. i feel that i can relate to that poem. for the past (almost) five years i have always been left wanting. i dont care about anything else, i just wanted to be in love. but love seems to be very elusive. i cant grab hold of it and when i do, it slips away from my hold like water dripping away from a tight grip. in just a few moments, it's gone again.
i do not want to live in the past. i'll give love another try and this time i will be satisfied and content. i won't be left...wanting.
