Alone

I realized the other day 
we truly are ALONE
If you think about it really
the day we set out on our own

ALONE is quite a scary thing
it can sneak up on you just like that
when you least expect it
ALONE brings you down in nothing flat

We never really see it coming
we are busy all the while
until one day you’ll be standing there
you’ll feel lost with no hope of a smile

When you look around you 
at this life that you have made
you found a nest and settled down
but along the way you’ve paid

Where are the ones that you once loved
and the ones who loved you too
did you forget to pay attention
to those ones that were so true

So, ALONE is a threat to keep at bay
fight it with all you’ve got
where friends should be standing there at your side
ALONE tries to take their spot

Value your friendships remember that
don’t ignore the importance in this
when ALONE comes knocking at your door
that’s a call you’ll be glad to miss.
