Alone But Not Lonely

How did I ever even get here, 
to this lonely place,
alone in this palace,
this place of solitude, 
so quiet I can feel 
the warmth of Nok the cat 
sitting calmly,
from a distance at the corner 
of the room window pane 
with eyes closed as if he's 
waiting for someone 
special to join us, 
oblivious of the world outside.
Looking out from where I seated, 
I could see the trees dancing 
to the music played by the wind.
I can also see a lonely bird 
sitting all alone like me,
and I can't help but to think, 
if this lonely bird is also waiting 
for the lover to come.  
Suddenly I felt a warm 
embrace of her hand around me,
so comforting and reassuring, 
and within me I also know that
it's going to be okay with that 
lone bird out there as I heard 
the song of another bird 
calling out to the one on the tree. 
Nok the cat was also picked up, 
for i could hear her purring with joy. 
It's not so bad after all at being alone 
but not lonely for a while.
