Odd One Out

Time goes by and I grow older
Getting wiser and slightly bolder
Friendships lost and not many gained
Relationships few and my heart stained

​

People going their separate ways
I'm left remembering the early days
The sunshine years when things were goo
Now the future's as clear as mud

​

Surrounded by couples in every direction
Looking in the mirror at my reflection
The shadow of a figure that used to be
Looking closer that shadow is me

​

An empty shell that used to be full
An exciting life but now it's dull
Affairs of the heart that lasted a while
Good times we've had that raise a smile

​

Out with a group having a drink
Looking in from the outside makes me think
There's something strange but it may be nowt
Then I realise I'm the odd one out
