    Never Enough
    We all dream, we all fantasize,
    Even if we have all we want,
    It's never enough.

    If it's the perfect relationship,
    It's not.

    Are we satisfied with what we have?
    NO!

    What we seek we will never find,
    What we find is never what we want.....

    Hello Phoenix9, Some people seem to be content with what they have, but is that which seems to forfill them so indeed the thing they need? A well composed work saying it as it most of the time is for many! Greetings: Sammylin.
