Being Single

Oh it’s hard to be single

On Valentines day

With no-one to cuddle

And no-one to say

“I love you dearly

You are my one

My dearest sweetheart

My honeybun”

Oh it’s hard to be single

And go out for a meal

To see a romantic

2-for-1 deal

With no-one to eat with

No starter to share

And you feel the couples

All around stare

Oh it’s hard to be single

In the age of the “date”

Is it my personality?

Or is it just fate?

To be forever alone

Forever just me

A tag of loneliness

Of which you’ll never be free

Oh it’s hard to be single

On Valentines day

Everyone asks you

“Are you sure you’re not gay?”

You’re letting down family

Letting down friends

And only by pairing

Can you make amends
