Uncertain

Sometimes life is just strange
Things change without warning
or the warnings fade without notice
Friends move farther away
Communications become scarce
Even though that bond holds firm

Love can be confusing to say the least
I met one young woman a few years back
and though we seemed to connect
I question whether she would date
A Redneck like me
Maybe because the difference in age
yet I’m uncertain

I wonder sometimes why
I have so many women as close friends
Yet I lack a girlfriend
Someone to grow old with
to share my thoughts, my feelings,
And my stupid jokes
Someone I should like to marry one day
I long for it, yet never have I been there!

I miss my friends that have moved away
And those who’ve always lived a long ways away
Shall I just pack up and drive one day?
Go two hours north, then another three
and see my friends, my extended family
Oh but they live in different directions!

Could it be that I’m clueless with love
and lonely without my closest friends?
