Where Do I Look? (Poem 5)

"Look where you lost," they softly speak,

Yet, where's the place? It's answers I seek.

What do I look for in this vast mist,

My soul, my love, or our shared gist?

How do I know where to set my gaze,

In the puzzle of time, lost in its maze?

Shall I rewind to that first date so sweet,

When your lips stole my heart, love's first heartbeat?

Or perhaps the 20th date, a milestone so grand,

Where I surrendered it all, at your command.

Heart, mind, and soul, given without a plea,

When you asked permission, unlocking love's key.

Or is it the last 365 days that hold the clue,

When I lost not just you, but myself too?

In the calendar of loss, where do I start,

To find the fragments of us, scattered apart?

Look where I lost, they gently say,

But what do I look for in this disarray?

My soul, my love, or the image of us,

Lost in time, a heartfelt fuss.
