My wife is working tonight but I don't qualify me as lonely. Every day is Valentines day in our house.
I find your question very sad. I do hope that you are not lonely today. :0)
Let's put it this way: I'm talking with 2 former ladies of my life some 600 miles away, and we're all keeping ourselves amused, happy, and feeling close. That's just the way Life is sometimes.
Last year, yes. This year, no. Next year (or before) for you, no!!
Welcome To My Life
by (Simple Plan)
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be ok
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like
What it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Nah, been living alone for the last eight years.
Just me and my dog.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Yeah, thanks for asking.
;O)
I even brung ya a flower.
Happy Valentines Day
Yes, all by myself.
Eleanor Rigby
by The Beatles
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
I have no one in my life besides the children.
On one hand, this limits the amount of yelling she can do to me for being messy or whatever the particular transgression might be.
It also severely limits the chances of me getting "lucky" for the bouquet I've left out for her tonight.
Funny pictures are cheerful.
Flash forward a couple years-- I found the right person and am so very, very happy. All things will happen in time. It sounds corny, but its true.
Love does come to loving people. But it comes on its schedule.
By myself alone, but never lonely.
Don't let the commercialization of Valentine's Day get you down. It's far better to be alone than with a jerk.
Lonely? No. Alone? Yes.
Unless you count all the FReepers I can chat with tonight...
