Sometimes Being Alone

Sometimes being alone Just isn’t enough Today I went to see an old friend Who doesn’t get around much anymore Been a while since we last spoke Not like the words that flowed Were now easily heard Sometimes the realization That it’s been a little too long Comes just a tad too late Makes catching up harder Than it needs to be So you talk and talk Remember all the old times Laugh about what seems silly now Cry about things you didn’t know Talk about how the kids have grown Where life took us both Where we thought we’d go Talk about your wedding The days your momma and poppa passed How the words I wrote Helped those days get by Now here I stand in disbelief Wondering how fast time does fly It’s kind of you to listen Silently let me ramble on But before you go I must say Though alone we’ve spent the day As I stand watching You lowered into the ground Sometimes being alone Just isn’t enough
