and then it hits you...

you realize the room is not empty,
but your heart is.

you realize you are not alone,
but somehow
you have never felt lonelier.

you realize the people around you
are not friends,
only strangers
wearing familiar faces.

you realize you are smiling,
but not because you are happy.

and finally—

you realize
you no longer know
who you are anymore.
