While couples bask in the glow of their love,
savoring each other’s touch,
surrendering themselves to pleasure,
What is there for the lonely to do?
While friends lounge in the company of each other,
enjoying the silliest and most reckless of things.
forgetting their worries,
What is there for the lonely to do?
While families build their foundations,
and transform once empty houses into loving homes,
thus creating a better future for the generations to come.
What is there for the lonely to do?
While time moves forward,
and life continues on,
and friends turn into acquaintances into strangers,
What is there for the lonely to do?
What is there for the lonely to do?
Except to be left alone with their thoughts,
Mind drifting to the things they’ve lost, or perhaps,
The things they never had.
Wondering what’s to come,
And whether the future shall shine in their favor.
