In Search of...

I remember sometimes

how it's done

how it's played

sharing my life

allowing myself

a new best friend

As I get older

revealing myself

comes easily

hoping to find a good match

a solid connection

an ideal mate

I'm used to being single

being alone

And I realize it's all

self-imposed

I still explore occasionally

but the social scenery

rarely changes

and I can't seem to find

the new rules of engagement

Something either inside me or out

needs to change

As I make my moves

pursue my opportunities

strategize my life

I take comfort from knowing

my ideal mate

is probably just as lost
