Loneliness Once More

Loneliness, my old familiar friend, Comes back uninvited when you are gone. Feel empty, like I'm ripped apart, After we were so close, as one. Emotions pulled like taffy In this all-or-nothing world And I'm all by myself again, After I got to be your girl. A promising relationship But the timing and circumstances are all wrong. I have to watch you leave once more And I wonder this time, for how long. And I hear the refrain of an old, sad song 'So Far Away' by Carole King. She captures us so perfectly, I choke back tears, and start to sing.
