.

I have handled the loneliness
Of being free pretty well
And yet there you were

It was a life picnic

Those I had known
After and before were there
Many of whom I had not seen
Though I wanted to
For a very long time

They came and greeted me
There were smiles laughter
And other expressions of affection
You could say despite myself
I seem to have managed some friends

So the air grew silent around you
As everyone could recognize
By my change in attitude
Who you were

You drew too near
We kissed we hugged
We were a couple
You talked with the others
Empowered by surrender
They didn’t know what to do

And people began to die

And I stood there resigned
A man condemned in love
Wanting only to disappear

This really touches me... I was completely hooked after the first 3 lines. I think I went through a similar time warp in March... if so, you have my sympathies.
