In this powerful song, we encounter the journey of love—a journey that reflects our deepest desires and our profound sorrows. The singer tells us of where two hearts met and embraced in the light of hope. But sadly, that same love fades away on a lonely highway, a path where isolation and heartache can linger.

We hear the profound truth that true love, they say, can never truly die, yet the singer is faced with a painful farewell. Tears are shed, for the reality of goodbye weighs heavily on the heart. In moments of desperation, when the embrace felt like a revelation, the light of love turned to shadow as the beloved walked away.

I found love on a two way street.

Lost it on a lonely highway.

This song teaches us about the highs and lows of love—how we can find joy in togetherness and yet face the heart-wrenching experience of separation. It calls us to hold tight to the memories, even as we face the ache of loss. So let us remember that love is both a beautiful gift and a profound challenge.

Love on a two-way street is a soul ballad written by Sylvia Robinson and Bert Keyes in 1968. The song was a hit single boy Stacy Lattisaw in 1981. The song peaked at number two R&B and number 26 on the hot 100.
