Alone.
But what does it actually mean?
When you are surrounded by people, but still feel like there's no one with you?
Are you alone when everyone is sleeping and you are awake, looking for something that you don't even know about?
What does it mean to be alone? To feel empty. To no be able to response at the stimuli even if you are trying really hard. To not be able to controle your whole body.

'Yes, but I was just bored.' I responsed, keeping the eye contact.

'Do you know that moment when you can't sleep even if you are trying so hard to do it, because your entire body is asking you for some hours of sleeping? But your brain knows really well that you don't need to sleep; you are tired, but not that kind of. You are just sick of it, that's all. That's how you write philosophical.'
'I will never understand you, I swear to God I won't.' She laughs friendly and I'm laughing too. Because of her. Because my body is reacting to stimuli.
