Someone new

The truth is that you will never find another one like him. You can spend your whole life looking and you might even get close. 

Maybe you'll find another boy with green eyes that uses the exactly same lotion and that laughs into your cheek, but it'll never feel the same.

His hands will never fit in the same way, his fingers will never trace maps in your skin that well. He'll be too delicate, too harsh, too perfectly placed. 

He won't be good enough and deep down you know it's not fair to blame him or to expect more from him.

What you'll find, though, is something different, something new. 

If you let yourself you might fall in love with brown eyes that look like shiny wood. 

Let him wrap his arms around your shoulders instead of your waist; give him a chance to love you in his own way.

The truth is you never end up finding what you're looking for, so stop looking for him. Stop missing out on all of the people you could be falling in love with because you're too busy searching for someone that's already gone.
