Alone

I like long walks in the forest,
I like to be the only one home.
I like the deep darkness of nighttime,
I like to play games on my own.
I like to write stories and read them,
I like it when I'm alone.

I like deep silence and solitude,
I like to wander and hike alone.
I like thick snowfall and gentle peace,
I like to watch raging lightning storms.
I like to work on my own.
I like to take care of myself,
I like it when I rule my home

But then I turn around,
And then I really see
The world moves on when I'm alone.
The people move on without me.
And finally I realize the truth:
I like to be alone, but don't fancy 'lonely.'
