It hits me hard on days like this when I return after a long day to an empty home. People say that loneliness is like a demon, but for me, it has been my longest companion.
In happiness, in sadness, in my victories, and in my failures, it has stayed my loyal friend. Always with me, within me.
Sometimes, it gives me a hug of comfort but sometimes, it feels like a splash of cold water on my face reminding me that I've always been and will be this lonely, unapproachable self.
As much as I love being with this loneliness, I'm sick of it. I want it gone and I want to know what it feels like to have someone to go back to after a tough day.
Amidst of this chaos of the world, I've always found peace within myself. But I do not have any more strength left within me to hold me up. I want to know what it feels like to have someone who shares my worries. I want to know what it feels like to just let go and relax.
But the ends just like any other day and another day comes and goes and it goes on with me being the only one for me.
