Chasing Rainbows

There is an old saying
About how all rainbows have big pots filled with gold at the end
I have seen so many rainbows in my lifetime
Too many to count
But for each of these boys
A lucky girl has already been destined to find their pots of gold
Not me.
Will I ever meet an unclaimed rainbow?
Will I ever get near his pot of gold?
It seems that the more close I get, the more that rainbow fades away
Never would a rainbow let me see his true colours
Nor would he let me be more than just a leprechaun
Guarding the heart, but just a friend
I am forever searching, forever chasing, after that one boy, who I know will come after the pouring rain
And make my world bright and colourful again
But for now, it's just me
Waiting, and chasing, rainbows
