Alone
He walked her in and backed her chair,
He brushed her cheek and touched her hair,
They did not see me sitting there; alone.
A tiny table just for two,
He smiled into her eyes of blue,
I kept my tears from breaking through; alone.
He reached across and took her hand,
Now this was more than I could stand,
Just take the exit I had planned; alone.
But I was frozen to this sight,
Of true love on this chilly night,
They never knew my envied plight; alone.
This small café once knew our name,
We did those things, we felt the same,
Now I’m a stranger to this game; alone.
At last they did vacate their space,
Another couple took their place,
No more of this scene could I face; alone.
I walked into the dreary night,
The road ahead no end in sight,
You’re gone and now I face this fight; alone.
Beside the lane outside of town,
There on the grass up on the ground,
I gently lay your flowers down; alone.
Then back home to my humble lair,
With memories of you everywhere,
I’ll think of you and we’ll be there; alone.
