Alone Poem by Aria Lei

I walk out of my house
(Alone)
And down to my car.
(Alone)
I drive downtown
(Alone)
And park to the side.
(Alone)

You’d think that after all this
Time of searching and looking,
I’d give up; I’d forget.

Chorus:
But no, no
No-no, no-no, no.
I keep searching
I keep looking
For someone else.
But no, no
No-no, no, no, no.
I keep searching
I keep looking
For you.

I get out of my car
(Alone)
Walk up to the door
(Alone)
Walk into the building
(Alone)
And into my office
(Alone)

You’d think that with all this
Time, searching and looking,
I’d give up; I’d forget.

Chorus:
But no, no,
No-no, no, no-o.
I keep searching
I keep looking
For someone new.
But no, no,
No-o, no, no, no.
I keep searching
I keep looking
For you.

I’m done with work,
And all alone.
(Alone)
I walk to my car
(Alone)
Get out my key
(Alone)
Open the car door
(Alone) .

And though I see you everyday
In my wallet, or in the picture
In my office,
On my desk. It’s such a surprise to see
You, in your Sunday best.

Just across the street, you’re walking
Right past.

I see the baby in the stroller before
I see her.

I look at you,
You’re so happy,
And I think back again.
I promised you,
I’d let go,
If you ever found someone that made you
Happy.

Ignoring the pain,
The searing in my chest,
I walk across the street,
You look my way.
I tell you, “I love you, ”
Then walk away.

Chorus:
And you’d have thought,
I’d give up,
After so long.
But no,
No, no, no,
I kept searching
I kept looking
I finally found you.
Now I must find someone new.
(Alone)
