It's Been Forever Since I Saw Another Soul

I.

I know I'm not alone,

They say I'm but they are wrong.

For if I were, I would have not been this happy, would have not been this jolly,

And probably in the Sylvan crying.

But I'm not sad, I've been enjoying this boulevard,

Which isn't the most agreeable, nor very welcoming,

Perhaps that's what I've to deal with,

Tighten my knots and move my feet.

Though I have a smile on my face, no one smiles back,

But I keep telling myself it's because they don't know you yet.

Strange, I walk on this boulevard almost everyday,

Maybe too early or too late,

And I keep telling myself not to worry,

You'll surely find your mate.

I'll keep walking though,

Till I find someone I can amuse and who will amuse me back,

Walk hand in hand, till I lose my breath.

I feel my fading smile and the lost pace of my legs.

Now even the wings seem to make their return,

As the road grows narrower, and the hazy sky, endless.

The face of dusk seems to scare me,

Not because I hate the night sky, but perhaps the sun gifted more faith.

Yet I can't stop now,

I promised myself I would only when I prove them wrong.

But alas, it's been forever since I saw another soul.

I wish I were not alone,

I wish they were wrong.
