LOST!

when you have lost something, how long should you spend looking for it? an hour, a week, a month or the rest of your life?
Is it worth finding?, will you use it when you do find it?, should you stop looking and hope it will find you?
In a power cut, everything is left in darkness, its very easy to loose things in the dark...
maybe i never properly had it???
ive felt like this for a while
