You look around and despite being in a crowded place you cannot seem to sense anyone else's presence but your own. After spending time with friends and as you go your separate ways, you realize you're now all alone and all of a sudden nothing's funny anymore, no more smilies, just the awkwardness of being by yourself and walking alone.
You try to cheer yourself up by thinking about what you'll do when you get home, what to eat, what to watch and then suddenly, you freak out when it's finally dawns on you that you're now in fact alone on the street. So now you're on the lookout petrified with worry that you don't stop to look at the gorgeous views, at mother nature, to live in the moment maybe snap a few pictures. Once home, you close the door and rest your back against it, thinking thank god, then you look around and you come to realize you missed out on so much and then there was one.
