This is where the dreams dissolve, this is where illusions shatter It’s been a long year of trying to stay afloat And oh the constant struggle, my mind fights for reason My heart fights for hope. Have I spent any of this time alone Cause that’s what this was for No I’ve been hopping in and out of bed I was never one of those who could not be alone But now something has changed Love never finds you when you want it to It waits til you’ve stopped waiting Will I have to spend this life alone? So far I have been very blessed Open up the windows wide, let the cold air come in Give me something unfamiliar give me seething I can use Let me find something new Don’t matter with someone Maybe I could learn to let it all go More from Catherine MacLellan
