There is a difference
between being alone
and being lonely.

Being alone is physical
Like when you're not here
and I have no one to wake up to,
and I have no one to eat with,
and I have no one to sleep beside.

That is when I am alone -

Because you are gone
and I have no one.

Being lonely is mental
Like when you are here
and I have someone to wake up to,
and I have someone to eat with,
and I have someone to sleep beside.

That is when I am lonely -

Because you don’t care
and you never will.
