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
