Am I?

I never realized I was lonely 

Until they day I met you

And then you left.

And it’s not that I really knew you

More like a friendly face

And it’s not like we will ever be more than that.

And that’s what makes me lonely

Because it’s always like this.

I’m used to crying at night 

Feeling bad about this haunting loneliness 

I have friends that love me

I have family that protects my heart.

And yet I still…

Feel alone.
