an intimate moment in a public place

It's a funny thing, loneliness.
There was a big silence before she said,
"I feel like I have no one to talk to,
Like I've lost a part of myself."

It's a state we've been at, I think.
But I can't help but want to be there at the moment.
To have no one.

Okay, maybe not no one, that sounds a bit sadistic
But one person,
One genuinely awesome person;
It wouldn't feel fake.

If there's anything I've learned this year
It's that the Fourth of July car rides in the morning
And the occasional bus laughs in the afternooon
Might have just been the highlight of my day.

Not to say I dislike them now,
But with many of them it feels forced:
Like something done out of convenience or courtesy.
A favor you do because of so many years spent together.
And frankly, I'm not down for that.

Maybe sometimes having no one
Is better.
Or it might just be the down time
Before someone
Who can Save you comes along.
