When I was just lad It became quite clear to me To go through life mostly alone Would be my destiny Others did not understand Nor could I explain The feelings I had in my heart The thoughts within my brain Try and try I couldn't fit A smart but awkward youth Deep inside I hurt, I cried But still remained aloof No young lovers, no fast friends Acquaintances I had few I played no sports, joined no clubs, Alone I grew and grew A young adult in college now New classes and new faces Things changed but stayed the same Alone, just in new places Adulthood then and time to start Finding my place in life I thought that meant I had to have A house, a job, a wife So those things I went to seek And those things I did find Unfortunately I chose Not with heart but with my mind Thirteen years and two kids later I am getting a divorce I stop to wonder where I am Alone again, of course Introspection, self appraisal I pray and meditate Then the day that I met you My soul had found my mate Throughout my life I have spent Most of my time alone But that's all behind me now With you, I found my home (To be continued...) Life is for living... [This message has been edited by sea_of_okc (edited 06-28-99).] |
