Solitude

I’m sitting here all alone
Entrapped by all my thoughts
Always thinking about the two of us
Each day this loving mind rots

I choose this lonely solitude
As my way to deal with this
Because the world reminds me of you
It’s everything that I miss

I could go for a walk
Or even to the park
But wishing you were with me
Would put me in the dark

It’s the dark that I’m avoiding
I just don’t like it there
I want to hug and hold you
So that you know how much I care

But then something happens
Right inside my soul
A piece of you appears
And makes this half man whole

So I sit and smile with hope
And I continue on with glee
Because deep down inside
I know that you love me
