I like being alone

I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone.

I like riding the bus  alone, and walking home alone.

It gives me time to think, and set my mind free.

I like eating alone, and listening to music alone.

But when I see a mother with her child;

A girl with her lover;

Or a friend laughing with their best friend;

I realize that even though I like being alone.

I don’t fancy being lonely.
