Today I feel lonely.
And it isn't the kind of lonely
like when all your friends leave for class
and you have a fee period.
It's that kind of lonely
that you never notice
until all your friends aren't around
and only your thoughts
are there for you to listen to.

Today I feel lonely.
I hadn't felt it until now,
but it's been there all day.
The kind of lonely
you get when you feel like
none of them care, not really,
and without you nothing would change
and there's no possible way
that anyone will ever love you.

Today I feel lonely.
And I wish I didn't,
but I can't help it much.
It's the kind of lonely
where the tears pool up
behind your eyes all day,
but nobody stops to notice
the glistening you're holding back.

Today I feel lonely.
And I don't know why,
but I hope tomorrow is better.
