Sitting on this empty bus,
Without a place to go.
He glances through the window,
And hopes that it won’t snow.
For he really has no shelter,
Doesn’t have a friend.
He simply is a man alone
No family to attend.
For he left them many years ago,
The day he left his wife.
He bought a ticket for the plane,
And sought another life.
But dreams like those just don’t come true.
Of course they never do.
You left your wife, you left your past,
Now all you have is you.
The life you always wanted.
Alone and free at last.
Then tell me lonely man will you,
Why you can’t forget the past?
You thought that it was boring,
Not really what you sought,
So you bought a ticket for the plane,
And left without a thought.
Now all your life’s a circle,
Just spinning round and round.
Each day so long and boring,
You really miss the sound.
The sound of children’s laughter,
Ringing through the hall.
And now you rue the day you left,
For you really had it all.
But now its gone, the wheel has turned,
And now you’re all alone.
Alone just like you wanted,
Just a king without a throne.
I deeply appreciate Kito sharing his peoms and stories. It’s simple and interesting just as Kito promised.
As to the lonely man, I felt much sorry for him. He was that miserable and cruel to give up his family.
If I were a man who has a huge motivation to make great acheivement, I would like to struggle to an fair phraze of my career before organizing a family.
Once I decide to get married, I would be doing my best to be a responsible husband.
Anyway, thank you for your sharing, Kito.
