alone

"I understand what it is like to look up, and around, and not see the person you want to see, you need to see."

I read this recently and it made me think. Will I ever have this? Will I ever want, need, depend on someone so much that I feel this? I have been single and on my own for so long that I am not even sure if I would ever be able to feel this way about anyone. Blame it on the time of year, but I can't help but feel alone with a longing to have someone to call my own. To have someone to come home to, to call, someone who actually cares.
