One of the saddest songs written by Michael Jackson, "You Are Not Alone", is under a question mark from the beginning to the end. "How could this be?", "Did you have to go? And leave my world so cold?" and "How did love slip away?" are questions that Michael sings and doesn't understand, telling his love that he is still here waiting for her, and he can hear her cry and asks her to give her hand and "forever can begin".
