Without that someone

I see them all smiling
Laughing at the world going by
I stand back a few paces
And simply wonder why
Life isn't as funny
As charming
As fun
As people may think it
Can be; They walk
I run
Not because I'm being chased
Not because I'm afraid
Just because there's so much to do
And so little in a day
I try to enjoy it
I try to have fun
But I find it's so lonely
Without that someone
So as people start to laugh
And they wave at life's merry show
They hold hands

I stand alone
