I'm lonely
And I think I have been for a long time now
Even with the daily texts sent by people far away
Even after spending a few hours in class with friends
But coming home and being alone
Most of the time, I'm okay with that
I have Netflix to be a distraction
From the pressing silence
That gets louder over time
But when the night comes
I crave for the warmth of another body
Resting an arms reach away
I crave the comfort of a persons voice
And the reassurance in their smile
And sometimes in the middle of the day
If I'm walking home
Or buying groceries
I wonder how it would feel
If there were someone next to me
Someone who waits for me after class
Someone to walk with on the sidewalk
Or go out and watch a movie
I crave company
And although I enjoy being alone
I don't enjoy feeling lonely
