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

Lonely Friendship
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
