Loneliness Part Two

So I wander my eyes as well
across the backs and the faces
of those who pass us by
wondering from where they each have come
hoping for the next to be my love
but finding none as yet in the faces
I turn them into backs
and wonder how long it will take
for the loneliness to draw me in so deeply
that all I will ever see are backs
and the smiles that turn my way
will be for my painful heart to see
that they are not meant for me then
but for me when I knew them
when I saw them
But as for now
I do see them
I do know them
and I welcome their loneliness
no matter how drawing
for it is their loneliness
when they share it with me
that makes me feel I'm not alone
