Story behind the song

This was the first song I wrote upon arriving in Chicago in 1994.  I was leaving an old way of life behind and starting anew.  Even so, there's always time to reminisce about loved ones left behind.

Lyrics

All alone in the world again,
What does it take to make a friend
    who will stay for more than just one night?
All alone in a world of pain, (and I)
Brought it on myself but you know its strange
    how the ways of life 
    can make a man change his mind

And I know its too late to try to compensate 
             for all I put you through,
And apologizing for my wrongs 
              won't make it all right.
But if you'll take the time to look inside,
    I know you'll feel it too
'Cause I can't lie down to sleep at night 
without dreaming of you....

All alone in a world of dreams, (and I)
Know my life is exactly what it seems to me
      I can't pretend to be more than I am.
All alone but I really don't mind ('cause I)
Realize that I need the space and time to find
      that part of me I gave away so long ago

So I fill my time with a wanderin' mind
      that keeps me feeling blue
And I embrace the pain 
      'cause its all I can call my own 
Megan I know I let you go 
and It's something we chose to do,
     So I hope you won't mind 
     when I tell you this time
I'm still in love with you 

And I know it's too late to try to compensate 
      for all I put you through
And apologizing for my wrongs 
      won't make it all right
But if you'll take the time to look inside,
I know you'll see the truth
    and I hope you won't mind 
    when I tell you this time 
I'm still in love with you
