Loneliness

Loneliness is too close a companion for me to be at all objective. It has gone
home with me on long walks, sat with me through numerous silent evenings, stood
with me in the middle of a group of laughing people, and lay across the bed with
me while I cried because I didn't know what else to do. It seems that even when
I escape it for a while, it is waiting not too far away. We have long talks,
loneliness and I, and I have to say that I have learned much more from our journeying
together. We have become friends. But the friendship was a long time in coming.
