Alone and Free
July 1, 2013
To be Alone is to feel hurt with none to comfort you
To be Free is to look around and be able to go anywhere
To be Alone is write a song and have none to share with
To be Free is to be released from commitment
Am I Alone or Free?
To be Alone is to wish then there was more than one at your table for two
To be Free is to be able run and feel the wind your hair
To be Alone is to believe true love is only a myth
To be Free is to move just to live in the moment
I am not Free
I am alone
Because she is not next to me
