I went to the beach last night after work
I walked alone in the dark next to the logs
The crashing wave nearby

I used to go nearly every day
To my lovely beach
The crashing waves
The fresh salt air
Hand in hand
Walking on logs and sand
With the one I love

But now I only go alone

I went to a dance club not so long ago
To dance and feel the beat
But she was not there to dance with me

We used to love to dance
Close to each other
Toe to toe
Face to face
Swaying to the beat
In beautiful harmony
As one with energy and twirls

But now I dance alone

She doesn’t enjoy going out
To the sound of the crashing waves
The feel of sand or logs under her feet
She doesn’t enjoy going out
To the sound of music ringing in our ears
Close to one another
Moving to the beat

She prefers to stay home
Eyes glued to the monitor of the computer or TV
Seeking to remove her-self from the world around

Seeking to be alone
