Lonelily

June 25th 2008. 

Loneliness comes and goes like the tides of the ocean. It washes over me, suddenly. I'm always surprised when it hits me. I always consider it a possibility, but I brush it off and store it away. Eventually, it escapes from its hiding place and finds me. Loneliness is not a scary thing, nor is it a sad thing. Loneliness is its own unique emotion. It's calm and quiet and misty. It's unsettling too. It makes me a bit anxious. I feel like I'm waiting for something. Waiting to emerge from the damp mist, into the warm and dry sun. 

There must be a pattern to my emotions. Loneliness can be combined with feelings of imprisonment as well as frustration.

I'll go seek some company in The Drifters or some week night prime time television program. Boy, am I an American or what.
