8. missing part

All my life,

I always felt like I was missing something;

I felt lonely no matter what.

I've always told people that there's a big difference between being alone and feeling alone.

In fact,
I felt alone all the time,
even when, physically, I wasn't.

I'll say this once again,

I'll repeat the same thing as I do in every poem:

you turned my whole life around.

Once I met you,

I changed for the better in every single context.

But most importantly,

since I met you,
I no longer feel alone.

Again, I used to feel alone every day and everywhere.

No matter how many people I had around,

no matter how many friends I had,

I always felt alone.

Actually, I was alone.

Maybe not physically,

but I was alone.

Then, so suddenly,
on the 25th of January,
I stopped feeling alone.

Like something had snapped in my head,

like you were the missing part

I was looking for.

I no longer feel alone,
and it's all thanks to you.
I never felt like this,
I promise.
I never felt so wanted, so loved.

And I want you to know

that since the day I met you,

I haven't felt lonely again,

not even once.

And I'll never thank you enough.
But I really hope
that this poem could be a start.

Thank you, love.
Thank you for making me forget what being alone feels like.

-to my love, g
