Why are we here?
Stationary. Huddling. Pondering.
Wearily, fearfully, anticipating the loneliness that awaits.
The loneliness that will etch our physiognomy.
Esteem discovered in many forms.
Ours in one another.
Are we so intimidated by
solitude that we stay tethered to complacency?

This is yet again about a guy. Its about not being sure if I like him and wondering if the only reason I'm still with him is because I'm too scared to be alone.
