Alone

Being alone doesn't make you look miserable,
Some will say you look like but to others who understand, you're not
Instead, you will look stronger and more independent than them
Who do not have sufficient ability to stand alone

At first, you will do everything just so you don’t look alone
Make friends, socialize and others so they don't look at you differently from them
But as we grow, our circle of people gradually shrinks
Sad to think but this is the truth

There are even people you thought would never leave your life
But you will just wake up one day without them by your side,
You haven't even had a chance to say goodbye properly
But your continuity in life is your responsibility

I know sometimes its hard to live alone
Without someone on your side who is willing to listen to you,
Who you can share your jokes and drama to
But we really need this loss
In order for us to became a better person

Sometimes being left alone will make you realize things
That losing someone is sometimes not a loss
But a gain to yourself, like a Calluna
That symbolizes a wealth and a good fortune on it's own
