I’m actually fond of doing things alone. I rarely desire others’ presence. Like walking home, or going for a drive. I like drinking coffee alone, never the less, reading alone. I like eating alone, and listening to music alone. Giving myself time to think, and sort my thoughts out.
But when I see a child with their mother, a girl with her lover, or a friend blissful with their best friend, my heart caves inward because I come to realize I don’t fancy being lonely. And I feel the absence of all three deluge it.
I just need someone who won’t turn away.
