Loneliness, I Think ---

Those 
who are together all the time
and hang together 
but feel, in their hearts,
they are away 
from each other

and

Those 
who are already a long way 
from each other in their lives
cannot hang together all the time,
but think, in their minds,
they are close to each other

are supposed to be alone people 
like a planet 
that seems adrift in space
trying to cling to a star
in a galaxy

loneliness is, I think,
something like that
