You Couldn't Become a Stray Cat

"You Couldn't Become a Stray Cat"

Like a stray cat,
you wanted to disappear quietly, unseen by anyone.
The man I once loved, who used to say such things, has died.

When I arrived at the funeral hall for the first time in decades,
more people had gathered than I could ever have imagined.
He was supposed to be someone who preferred being alone.
Someone who always said he never wanted to trouble anyone.
And yet,
he was loved by so many people,
and so many people came to see him off.

This is a song about a woman looking back on her memories
at the funeral of a former lover.
Memories no one else knows.
Memories she could never share with his family.
A song about the end of a life,
and the proof that someone was deeply loved.
