They say, If you are comfortable in your own skin, you will never be lonely
I tell them, It's not that I am uncomfortable, it's just that my own beating heart is not loud enough to echo off the walls of my too-small apartment on Saturday nights when the city is just starting to wake up
They say, You should not crave a relationship to fill the hole of loneliness
I tell them, I do not crave him for the sake of company, because I breathe on my own terms and I yearn for his presence no matter who is around
They say, Loneliness can be cured by looking inside yourself
I tell them, I have looked, and I see a girl the rest of the world should miss when she's away, but whose absence never seems to be noticed
