Hey Emily, I can see that you're looking sort of low You should know, that your kids will turn out fine It's been long since he's gone, still you never say a word You preferred feelings kept in line And in your mind he's still around In the pictures that you've found Painted from a movie screen Your love is deeper than it looks Confirmation from your books And the TV shows you've seen It's 9 o'clock, so you walk anywhere the currents flow To a show, or perhaps a social dance It's no fun, though you've done nothing like this for some time You still find, absentee romance The pounding of the undertow Is compelling you to go Find some place you're not alone The world keeps spinning and you find That you're being left behind Waiting for a love unknown An empty home; you're alone, still you feel inclined to say "How's your day?" needing just to correspond You feel he's there, so you share a conversation for awhile And you smile cuz he won't respond Your thoughts are growing rather stale So you look back through the mail Hoping you can find escape It's getting crowded in your mind Sharing ideas you find With each flower printed drape Hey Emily, I can see that you're looking for a friend Heaven send someone custom-made for you
