A Lonely Night

It is lonely this evening.
I am surrounded by so many faces, 
A few are familiar
While mine is familiar to many.
I greet those I know
And also a few I don't
It's a bit cold. I shiver.
For others, tonight is heartwarming 
The togetherness, the socialising.
They are meeting with people
They haven't seen in ages.
For me, the winds are cold.
So many familiar faces, 
Yet, I'm still alone.
I watch people being together, 
While I'm alone in the night, 
Cold and dark.
