Two laughing people in a movie theatre
It's their way of knowing they belong together
Heroes, villians and comedic giants
Are just characters forgotten in defiance
By self-involved lovers in this world

Two more people by the lake
The guy is strumming his custom made
Playing chords and humming songs
To the average ear sounds so wrong
But to a lovers ear is their song

Downtown is like a lovers mart
Uptown is full of broken hearts
Where the jealous and vengeful come to plot
A broken, bitter, and battered lot
All here to forget the best times of their lives

Where I belong I don't know
Uptown seems much too cold
Downtown reminds me too much pain
Every street and every lane
My best choice is to be alone

A sad write, that spoke to me of the dating scene...which can be particularly difficult at the holiday.
Alone time is precious, and if used well, can pave the way for a flood of light, and well being.
Perspective is everything in life.
Hugs and good wishes for a wonderful experience.
