"I NEVER THOUGHT" by David Guilbault

I never thought I could be this lonely.
I never thought I could be this sad.
I always thought there’d be someone to hold me.
I always thought there’d be someone so glad
To see me walk their way,
To take my hand and say – I love you.

Here I am now, alone and hurting.
Here I am now with no one who cares.
I always thought a life of love was certain.
I always thought there’d be someone to share
The passions of our day,
To take my hand and say – I love you.

I walk alone, with no hand to hold.
The days slip slowly into years.
Was the love I’ve had meant to be all I’d have?
I never thought I’d face that fear.

I’ve known true love, deep and soulful.
I’ve been blessed, time and again.
But I can’t go on with a life this lonely.
I hold out hope for one last love.

To see her walk my way,
Take my hand and say – I love you.
To see her walk my way,
Take my hand and say – I love you.

I never thought I could be this lonely
I never thought I could be this sad.
