Alone

What's worse than being alone?

Nothing.

And I don't just mean being single for life, or whatever I mean really being alone.

Like the silent darkness

Or the knowledge that you're on your own and no one is coming for you but you need them. And you're scared.

Now that's bad.

But what's worse is knowing that something is there, and then having it taken away.

Single forever isn't bad.

But love. Love is terrible.

Having love and then losing it.

That's what alone feels like.

That's as lonely as anyone could ever be.

That's what I'm afraid of.
