He's Not Going to Stop Looking

I'm looking for a guy who makes it a habit of living in his head.
Who believes in art, math, and chai tea because he knows the good of them.
Who believes in miracles every time he hears a baby laugh.
He's intelligent in that unassuming kind of way that people can't help but like.
Who never steps outside without a pen in his back pocket and Converse on his feet.
He lets others take pictures while he makes memories.
He attacks life with a smile and a dark sense of humor.

I'm looking for a guy who keeps his promises and his secrets.
Who helps me with my coat and rises when a woman walks into a room.
He doesn't mind wasting Friday nights watching movies
as long as he's sharing a couch and a blanket with someone he cares about.
He isn't satisfied with mediocrity or normality and knows this place will destroy us both
if we stay too long.

I'm looking for a guy who has a sense of adventure.
Who will try anything once and dive in headfirst.
Who is naturally drawn to those people in the crowd who don't seem to fit,
who seem out of place because he knows those are the people with the best stories.
He's cynical about mankind in general yet always rolls down the window
to offer a few bucks to a man holding cardboard that reads
"God Bless."
Who always notices the strangest things
like how all the cars parked on the street are white or
how I play with my necklace when I'm uncomfortable.

I'm looking for a guy who laughs often,
either in short chuckles or loud, long bursts.
He always finds the humor of each situation, no matter how twisted or dark.
He doesn't trust people by nature but no one knows that.
He doesn't see the point in lying but tells the best stories.
Who has a soft spot for animals, though he'd never admit it.
He makes plans in pencil because he knows things always change.

The guy I'm looking for knows what it's like to be in love
and knows it won't answer any questions.
But he's not going to stop looking for it
because he knows nothing else compares.
