Lonely
The first time my friend stepped into my room, he said,
"It feels lonely."
I didn't understand what he meant.
Of course I felt lonely there a lot, but what made him feel that?
I pondered over this many times.
I think I understand now.
A crowd of people doesn't always make someone less alone.
A light doesn't always make the world less dark.
A bandage doesn't always fix a wound.
Objects don't make a room less empty.
