???

Again last night you came to me
With tales of the end of your latest romance
Asking how could you possibly bear the pain
With your head on my shoulder
I dried your tears
While assuring you that tomorrow
Someone new would come along
When you were finally comforted
You kissed my cheek
And returned to your world

As I looked around the apartment
Now empty again
I thought of my walks in the park
Of tables for one
And movies alone
And as I reached for the TV Guide
I felt the moisture of a tear
Running down my face

For while some people have
A shoulder to cry on
It is the destiny of others
That they must cry alone
