I don’t mean to stare at the couples
sitting and interacting.
As for myself as usual on my own
the way it’s meant to be.
Over so long I’ve grown to accept
more years of regret.
Then I had hope and many dreams
that never came true.
Easy to be bitter but what’s the point
am I as much to blame?
Nothing can be altered its my history
life I’ve found is a mystery.
I have children and grandchildren that’s great
why was I ever born?
This thought I often mull over when low
but can’t dwell for long.
What I’ve done is not all gloom and bad
aren’t we all happy or sad?
So as I’m very often to be found alone
reflection is part of living.
Watching couples out makes me think
did I honestly miss out?
Lovers or even those with companionship
life still is a challenging trip!
I stare at others as I remember when it was me
now I sip a lonely cup of tea!
