Alone

Each night I walked by the sea, many people also walked but not with me.
He sat a lone, a young man who looked at nothing but the sea.
He looked so sad. I began to wonder what problems were going on in his head.
I wanted to stop and ask if he wanted my help, but I walked on by instead.
Each night I walked this path by the sea, each night I saw this lonely figure but he did not see me.
Was he alone by choice or did circumstances dictate? Had he lost the love of his life?
Maybe this love was already his wife or some one he hoped would some day be his wife.
Loneliness is a state of the mind but it is hard for the body to hide these feelings.
It is a time in ones life when all seems lost and your world has no meaning.
I related to this young man because I had been there many times before.
I had sat with my thoughts looking at the sea and the distant shore.
Would I have let a stranger into my world of sorrow, “no” not today? Maybe tomorrow.
Tomorrow is here, I did not talk to this young man that looked at nothing but the sea.
I now know I could not face his sorrow in case he became a reflection of me. napsal/a: anli 20:55 | Link
