Alone
There are days I want to catch a swim
And days I prefer to relax or sleep
Some days I would like to take a walk
But all this I would hate to do them alone
Some days I sit and think of you
I would like to think you are home alone
I wonder how you have been
And whom you have been with
I wonder if you ask or think about me
There are days my brain would take a dive
Hitting the rocks on the ocean floor
Those are the days I sit back and scream
I would try very hard to detach my feelings
Convincing myself with time I will heal
Some days I would rewind to see what I missed
Trying to disprove ignorance is bliss
I see clouds split along the horizon
Are those the gaps I am supposed to fill
I recall the days we were best friends
The days we argued without an end
The days we would count stars, we would merry
The days we would cuddle like there was not an end
Those are the days I would give anything to get back
There are days I look around Cupid’s space
Hoping she might be back, ending my quest
I see an empty space, cobwebbed and comfortless
My heart has more hope, twice your own
So I would lay back and dream
Hoping to wake up and am not alone
