Alone and lonely are two different things. Alone means nights with my books. Alone means quiet stargazing and drinking tea on my roof. Alone means hours of self-aware retrospection in a coffee shop whilst scribbling poetry. But most importantly alone means not wilting into the arms of a man who may not appreciate the stars and poetry. Lonely is carnal. Lonely is craven. Lonely is sad.
