Made Complete
On my way to another town.
Nice and quiet. No one around.
Why travel on I’m often asked?
Am I running from my past?
No, I’m not comfortable settling down.
It’s like asking a kid why he likes clowns.
I have a space to fill in my heart.
One that starts yearning when were apart.
I keep coming back time and again.
Never sure if you’ll let me in.
You always do and accept how it is.
You always welcome me with a kiss.
I’ve been thinking more of settling down.
I kind of like this little town.
Lately, I’ve begun to see.
You fill that space in my heart for me.
I have been a rover for years.
Sometimes, I left someone in tears.
Never thought of looking back.
Always following a different track.
But, something different has happened here.
Mostly, it happens when you are near.
You never judge or push an issue.
When I leave you don’t grab a tissue.
You accept me as I am.
To you I am more than a friend.
There is a change going on in me.
Something is coming to light, you see.
I think I have been searching all along.
Looking for someone with whom I can bond.
You complete me in every way.
I think this time I’m gonna stay.—————R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
