Alone again ... unnaturally

another Sunday..

alone again unnaturally …

the words Roberta is singing draw a picture of you in my mind

I will never forget “the first time … ever I saw your face” ....

I knew ..YOU and I would be WE …

Celine interrupts my thoughts as she sings… “seduces me” ..

that you did .. first with words and then … your sweetest caress …

I have spent many Sundays ..

alone again unnaturally …

but often I content myself with thoughts of you as Luther croons..

“if this world were mine.”

he puts the words so well to describe how my feelings are for you …

he pleads gimme a little lovin’… you never have to plead …

I offer you .. Patti Labelle’s plea …

please comeback and “kiss away the pain”

the pain of your long absences ..

eased somewhat by your voice on the phone ..

darn that Nancy talking about the time is right …

“love won’t let me wait” .. well lucky her….

for me the time IS right .. right now… although I sit here..

alone again .. unnaturally

but because of you.. love will let me wait ….

things are bad enough .. still she continues to sing

“we will explode in ecstasy”

creating visions in my mind .. of our soaring explosions of ecstasy …too long ago

okay now she redeems herself reminding me

I’ll be there to “keep you satisfied”

but also that it’s hard to bear the mental strain …

of us having to be so discreet …

I should have listened to Marvin when he sang “it’s too late for you and I” years ago … but then if I worried about it being too late

I wouldn’t have had 5 years of YOU keeping ME satisfied ..

Sade said it best .. you have been my “ sweetest taboo”
