Walk upon a beach without finding a sea shell
Go out in the rain without getting wet
Ideally all romantic collisions should be sweet
A perfect joy to ever have met
But often we don't escape unscathed
Bruised and battered and ready to quit
Though there will be someone out there for us all
An idyll, a supremely perfect fit
At the wrong times in our life we don't consider
That we are seeking an impossible dream
The person whose name we have tattooed on our heart
Appears to be what they don't always seem
The Mr Handsome or Miss Gorgeous we throw our love to
Are usually way off our personal navigational map
Water dowsing without stick for prediction
Setting a trail for a relationship trap
Suddenly, when least expected, the mist lifts
Everything we wished and hoped for is in our sight
The cliff edges, the winding paths and the heartaches
Are totally forgotten, when real love wins the fight
