she pleaded and begged him to stay
but he turned and walked away
not really caring about what she felt
he wanted to travel and find himself.

he travelled throughout all the southwest
finding odd jobs and doing his best.
women he found plenty of
but never one that he could love.

finally realizing that the girl he had left
was the one that suited him best.
he packed his clothes and got into his car.
'but ' he did'nt have to travel very far.

for she was only a mile away
she had followed him every day.

and as their eyes met, they both knew
that at last his search was through.
