Analysis of Whole
When you spend all this lonely lifetime searching,
For that flawless soul so quiet, honest and perfectly true,
I never imagined looking across a simply made table,
To find someone, some being, so perfect for me, as you.
I always thought all choices I had made were ideally right,
But now I only find simple comfort in Peter Jackson.
The way things had happened were not what I had planned,
I always wish we could have had all the things that had been.
You could walk into any room in this imperfect world,
And have perfect strangers see my lost heart light up.
I never knew there could be someone like you,
But finding you used up all my untouched luck.
Why does something so right have to feel so wrong?
When you finally find the other half of your lonely soul;
All I ever wanted to do is hold on to your spirit forever,
I never thought I could ever feel this feeling of 'whole'.
