“Experience has taught me that what you love,
you should love all the harder because someday it will be gone.”
Ronan O'Brien
My days are spent
In the company of others
As I run from errand to chore,
With a break here and there
For the daily necessities
Of living.
The sun's light hides
The shadows that await its setting,
Shadows that have little to do
With the nocturne darkness,
And everything to do
With the emptiness I feel
When I find myself
Alone,
My heart bereft,
During those long hours
When the bedside clock ticks away
The seconds and
The stars wheel silently overhead,
When I would gladly
Give up the day just passed
To feel you touch me
Tonight.
Indeed loneliness can set in after the hassles of a busy day. We all feel it as one time or another. It seems that we are born to love, and to be loved in return. It's part of the human condition.
A mournful plea that will resonate with all those lonely folks out there reading.
I found that when you let go of your longing so hard for someone else, they will suddenly appear just when you expect you will never find them.
I know of the opposite. Someone so dedicated to me and her work that she can't seem to find even enough time to sleep without interruption throughout the night like a baby crying for a bottle. She longs for a bit of aloneness without crushing responsibility of someone else constantly on her mind.
When Sophie Bayles inadvertently ruins a young man’s chance for employment, she sets out to find him a new position. Even though he doesn’t want her to.
