Alone

 We thought we would never be alone

We thought we would always have each other

We thought we would find something to hold onto

We thought we would find a way through all this

We thought things would work out our way

 

It was a good dream to believe in from the start

It was supposed to be you and I through it all

I was supposed to be the one for you and you for me

I thought you would notice the effort I put in

I hoped you would notice the pain I went through

 

I hoped you would see it was hard on me too

I thought you would appreciate the effort all the same

I wished you could have been there for me as well

I thought it wouldn’t only be about your needs

I prayed that we could be there for each other all through

 

It was hopeful thinking that you would wipe my tears

It was hopeful thinking that you would be my solace

You had the more urgent needs and mine never mattered

You were in a worse place and you didn’t notice

You had people in your corner and I remained alone
