Fall in love with lonely

 "fall in love with lonely" from Bruce Springsteen's 'Hello Sunshine' stuck in my head. There's a wistfulness to the song, which is wonderful and  a strange accuracy to the phrase too.  Have a listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icJjlg5e6l8 Let song and wistfulness diffuse into the sky; let  the winds take them into the wedgewood blue stratosphere to the listening cockles  faraway.

Fall in love with lonely

“Fall in love with lonely”,

wallowing

 in unreliable memories.

Hopes thrown onto the rocks;

not really, 

forlorn notions is what they were.

I wanted more 

than fits into a life,

more than I’d a right to aspire to;

but it’s not all bad 

falling back to earth;

when you land you can stand again.
