Alone
Coming to my dwelling place for a moment of rest
No 'sweet thing' to welcome me, no soft caress upon my chest
No sweet scent from her perfume
No sexy lingerie in my bedroom
No stimulating conversation at the dinner table
Listening to this, one may say that this is just a foolish fable
Oh, how I beg to differ, for the heart and reality are two of life's great truths
Living day by day in the 'concrete jungle' is more and more living proof
I could indulge like so many and have someone here
But why? Why play this senseless game of LOVE, knowing she is not my dear?
No sweet embrace, no beautiful face
Only memories, as I seek refuge from this 'rat race.'
Only stirring echoes from a lovely, romantic past
Living today alone, far from her sensual touch, sometimes wondering, How long will this last?
Mmmh! Silly me, NOW is a reality that must BE
It's not about her, it's not about them, it's not even about me
This is an inevitable time that has come
And only dear God knows how long it will run
So, ALONE is how I must live
Until my heart acknowledges the love I must give
Alone, alone, but not lonely!
