Single Me
I am SINGLE me just I not we
How could it be, that the 2 of us together…day in day out… you know extremely close at night, wake to the dawn to always say
I AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
When I am out to dinner with that man, the one I wish was more than a friend… the bill comes and the conversation ends…. DAMN
I AM REALLY SINGLE JUST I NOT WE
It never fails when I walk in the club, like it needs to be announced “I Yell”
I AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
Then I meet that man through the smoke and dark thinking I am seeing sparks… grinning from the Hennessy – he tells me how sweet it could be… until the next morn when I discover he posses more aint gots than I can afford and aint got cant stay in my home, as I say thank him for a quick score and escort him to the door… I gladly say once more
I AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
Time and time again I say I am going… to make this man more than just a 9pm to 5am friend… you know getting real good loving friend… only because when I try to catch my breath from the frenzy at 3am the next morn he is bring me again to my ecstasy blinding me not to see that when the sun is bright and it is not night
I AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
You would think after 5 long years off and on temporarily sharing a home… he would turn to me and say baby I wish you would top singing that same old song
I AM SINGE ME JUST I NOT WE
Why is it now everywhere I go it is we, my child and me that I must see in a reflection of my presentation to the world, but in my heart there is no watch for he… because you see
I STILL AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
The man has come and gone my child is now damn near grown… I sit here all alone… does that mean that I have now grown to accept the fact that
I AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
For love I live, for eternal life I die, it is in knowing that with love I came thru the birth canal alone to be embraced by my parent’s arms. In the end it will be the same… many will say yes she was a good friend but alone I will lay in my grave knowing that my soul will be saved
I said all of that to say…
Everyday I know its okay to be
SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE

Sadly no one falls on love expecting it to end, beautiful, moving but so real. Great job and on a personal not it's his loss the prick x

Interesting perspective from your view - I find at times I can say the same "just I".
