Loneliness

I’ve been fighting bouts of loneliness here and there recently, I don’t know why. I’ve been longing for regular physical contact; even something as insignificant as hooking our pinkies together would be nice.

I remember being very happy when I first got together with Irene. Our first year was heavenly bliss. I look back to that time and I envy myself. We were so happy to see each other, like two little kids.

I miss that.

I miss feeling important. I miss being able to make someone happy just by showing up. I miss having someone try to make me happy.

I guess I just miss the reciprocation.
