I never walked down that aisle
I've been alone for awhile
It's not what I anticipated in my youth
But now as the sun begins to set it is my truth
I often get asked why
By those who succeeded and those who tried
I don't have an easy answer
The one I lived through had cancer
I see my mom in a room with her books, music, coffee and cat
And I guess for me that was a life that seemed where it's at
Yes there is a heavy price to pay
But it's my only way
There is loneliness and emptiness sometimes I won't lie
And at times like these I may even breakdown and cry
But some of us may be better off walking alone
And let their hearts forever roam
Until that final resting place
