Is this what it's like
To be lonely?
To be in a room full of people—
But to feel utterly alone?
If so,
I don't think I like being lonely.
My friends have noticed my withdrawal.
I have, too.
I want to laugh with them
But somehow,
My smiles seem faked.
I've never felt betrayal before—
Just like I've never felt loneliness.
But somehow,
Ever since you've left me,
I've felt empty.
I try to fill the void with a new friend—
It never works.
They run on ahead,
And yet I stay behind...
Waiting for something.
Waiting for you.
But then, I realize
How foolish waiting for you really is.
For, even if you are behind me—
You have no reason to catch up.
I try to go back to you,
Yet you will not take me.
You retreat further...
Leaving me.
A tad bit more broken,
A tad bit more lonely.
And then I realize the friends ahead of me
Will not wait for me,
Like I did
For you.
And suddenly,
I have no one at all.

I don't really plan on writing author's notes, so this is probably going to be the only one other than whatever brief words I feel like writing before or after chapters. Feel free to comment if you'd like
