Alone Too Long

It's been thirteen weeks, since I've seen or been seen, by another human being. I once had a significant other who left me for another. because I always wanted a bit of alone time, now I have way too much of my own time. I used to look forward, to some piece and some quiet. Now anything other than silence, in a heartbeat I'd try it. I often before, wouldn't answer when friends would call. Now I haven't seen any of them, not since the beginning of last fall. Just me and my thoughts, my free time I've got lots. While I keep aging, and my body slowly rots. My memories fading so fast, as each day comes to pass. And every day exactly, the same as the last. I don't want to play anymore, I want things back to the way they were before. But such so is that thought, so terrifying it is to me. How am I really supposed to be, when I return to society?
