Loneliness

Seeing couples in public makes me want to cry.

And not in the, "aww they're so cute!" cry,

No. When I see couples, holding hands and imagining a life with the other person,

I want to cry for the experiences I don't get.

I know I should be happy for them, that one day, I will experience the same thing.

But falling in love had been a guilty pleasure of mine since I was a little girl.

Even when I had grown into an independent woman I still stare at that cold, empty spot in the bed next to me.

Sometimes I daydream about what it would feel like to have someone love me as much as they do in the stories, but when I come back down to earth, I sit alone.
