Miles Carter
To The Lover I Have Yet To Find
I don't know who my next love will be
But I know she’s warm
Like California
She's nothing like me, but she's into everything I’m into
She doesn't laugh at my jokes but she smiles at my attempts
And that smile is enough for me
We do more than spend time together
We share worlds
Experiencing moments as one
And because of that I want to explore this entire planet with you
I've spent a large part of my past in fear of the future
But with you
Tomorrow looks like adventure
It looks like unfamiliar cities
Watching sunsets on top of buildings we aren't allowed
Thinking isn't it crazy?
How people have ownership over parts of a planet that was gifted to us all
That we have created borders between land we have no claim to
You'll tell me it is crazy
Then walk me back to reality, reminding me the world can't be everything i'd like to imagine in my head
I imagine love with you feels like being lost
But knowing exactly where I am
Because anywhere with you is exactly where I should be
I’m not sure what my next love will look like
But I know we will love like we were the last two people on earth
And I will remind you how to forget
About a past that hasn’t treated you as well as our future will
About a world trying to shape you into something cold
I'll tell you, I hate the cold
Both in the wind and in people
And those people, they’ll tell us we're only young
That it's always easy at this stage
But we'll laugh
Knowing the happiness we have found is one that we’ve worked for
It will defy all odds
And we will show the world how to love again
So to my soulmate
Wherever you are
I have spent a lifetime looking for you
Without knowledge of how you look, sound, or smell
But, I know exactly how you'll make me feel
Sometimes I fear as though I've felt everything I ever will
But you will show me what it means to feel again
This is a letter to the lover I have yet to find
I don't know how you look, sound or smell
But I know you're here
