It was a dark day

and I was near to a garden,

I saw some people

I have never seen before,

While I was walking around

I recognized one of them,

she was wearing sandals,

I approached to her

because it looked she needs me,

and she was giving me directions.

I was pleased to see the flowers blooming,

and watching to the horizon,

it looks promising.

A mysterious guy appeared from nowhere

in a bicycle wearing a white hoodie

with blue stripes,

as usual no face to show.

He passed by my side really fast

without hurting me,

but I noticed he was speeding up.

I asked my man once more,

show yourself, my love.

Who was this man?

My man replied, you know who I am.

Keep looking for me, you are getting closer.

Then I asked again,

where else do you want me to look for you?

I have been looking for you

in every place and in every person.

I am everywhere, My love added.

And I asked myself,

What other place do I need to look for?

I have been so wrong.

There’s one place I am missing

but it is so far from me.

It is his land, and my body answered me with a yes.

I have my plans

but is my LORD

who decides what it is going to happen.

As always, I was confused then I asked,

can you tell me are you one of those men

or are you a different kind of man?

“I am one of a kind”

and he reaffirmed, keep looking for me.

I will still looking for your face,

and I will find you, my LORD.
