Still Searching
Why am I still searching for you?
I can’t help missing you,
The One I’ve never met.
I don’t even know if you exist.
Do you still search for me?
I keep saying I’ll give up on trying to find you,
but here I am again, wondering if we’ll ever meet,
Hoping to find you someday.
Reaching out again.
Am I crazy to keep this hope alive?
I don’t really understand why I’m so set on finding you.
But there are times I miss you,
with an ache that takes my breath away.
Please be real.
Please be okay.
Please find me,
Because I don’t know how to find you.

Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

Through hearts eyes
In the quiet hum of asphalt dreams,
Every day she drives where the sunlight shines,
Their eyes intertwine, a fleeting spark,
Love ignites though the shadows mark. His gaze, a whisper, deep beneath her skin,
A thousand words where silence begins,
Though fate decrees they should not touch,
Every exchange of glances means oh so much. In a world where love wears such tight chains,
She finds solace in stolen light.
Every passing moment, a heartbeat shared,
In the depths of longing, their souls are naked. Daily she rolls by, her heart in flight,
Chasing the glow of his eyes, so bright.
In the quiet turmoil of love denied,
They meet in the silence where dreams dwell.
