Is different than being lonely
It’s doing your own thing without
Critique or comments
Watching TV programs
Without regard to another’s likes/dislikes
Going to bed and rising on your own
Timeline…
Reading books for hours without
Interruption…
Not having to run to anyone’s needs
Answering your own questions
Or just asking and searching alone…
Burping, farting without shame
Not having to wait for anyone
When you are wanting to leave
Not cooking, shopping for food
And eating only ice cream
If you like…
Yet the thought of alone time
Makes me lonely…
