I sat and thought the other night
About the bumps in my life in 5 years I have hit
Death, disease, house move and stress
Empty purse, work stress, I took it all apart bit by bit

And the one thing I lacked through this obstacle course
When I look back through my state of affairs
Was the love of my life, my magnetic force
The one whose burdens I had shared

Now many a thing has happened to him
And I sat with him night after night
Hearing his confessions of guilt
Listening to his meanderings ..... his choices wrong? or right?

But during the hours of need when I needed him
His presence was nowhere in sight
He had found another woman to cuddle, another hand to hold
And with whom he would spend the night

Now there may be many more obstacle courses I face
And in the dark of night I wish he knew
That our friendship was not a place to go
It's a feeling, a togetherness, where I thought our love grew
