Alone Again, Naturally
Sometimes people seem to drift apart and there is really nothing that you can do about it. The situation is just such that the two of you must be apart and time together falls to nothing. Eventually, even the phone calls get to the point where there is little to say and even what is said is ring hollow.
What do you do in these cases? I am never sure. I know that I care a great deal for her, it is just that what was there is not any more. Does she become just one more friend in your life? Seems to me that has to be the case.
Oh well, no rush for anything, just “Alone Again, Naturally”
I am not this torn up, but going with my habit of adding song lyrics… here are some more:
Alone Again, Naturally
By Gilbert O’Sullivan
In a little while from now
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: “My God, that’s tough
She’s stood him up”
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to well wouldn’t do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist
Why did He desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that can’t be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn’t understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
