A new year, a new day, and what is different this time around,
Love found, love lost, just a cycle in my relationship merry-go-round.
By a year’s end I’ve never had a love to share,
Does it really have to be so complex and so rare?

It seems so simple in my head, but that never coincides with reality,
Just a nice beautiful girl that has a unique interest in me.
Who I could spoil at times just to see her smile,
Whose appreciation of me and all the things I do would last longer than a while.

The kind I could talk to all day and never get bored,
The one that gives you the feeling to make the most unreligious person thank the Lord.
The type that opens up to you taking the chance that you’re not like every other guy,
And when things get bad for you, she’ll be there at the right time on which to rely.

I’d just be able to look at her and she wouldn’t know what to say because she’s shy,
Then all of a sudden be completely spontaneous in the blink of an eye.
The girl that when you give her a hug when you see her and say goodbye, it’s just incredible,
And when you kiss her lips, well even as a writer I’d have to admit it’s pretty much indescribable.

She would demand respect for herself and the goals she has,
And when you’d try reaching your own goals she’d be right there holding your hand with a supportive grasp.
Is good for me so that with my loved ones I’d never have to defend,
points out the other person’s point of view when I’m being stubborn in getting along with a close friend.

Can say she’s wrong even if it kills her to admit it,
And on occasion can prove me wrong, teaching me humility something I long ago needed.
She tries to read all of my poems but doesn’t want me to know,
She falls for me and then tries and fails to put up defenses so that it won’t show.

She could have all of these traits or just a few,
I don’t ask for much in a relationship, really I just ask to be true.
Yea I guess that’s what I want this time around, in this new day, new year,
I wonder if that girl is reading this right now, do I know her, is she near?
