Losing Loneliness

Apologies for the screwed up look. I went over on bandwidth, so my image hosting is temporarily down. It resets at the beginning of the month, so there you have it. Thanks for reading!

Loneliness is impossible to lose. I wander around a crowded bookstore, but no matter how big the crowd, the loneliness always finds me. I lose myself in a world of make-believe, but somehow, loneliness becomes a fire-breathing dragon to my defenseless white knight.

I make sharp turns, and loneliness turns even more sharply. It arrives at all my destinations before me, and it knows all my plans before I do. It removes the smile from my face before it even gets there, and it is waiting at my door to turn my friends away.

It hosts great parties, and everyone is invited, but when I arrive, it is only loneliness and I. We never talk, we are not friendly, but we never leave each other’s side.

So, Jenny, when I am with you, we are not a couple, we are a trio. We may not connect, but at least we relate. We may be alone, but at least we can be alone together.
