One Is A Lonely Number

After reading a post from 4th Avenue Blues tonight, it made me think about people and how some may be alone. When I say alone, I mean that they have no one from the opposite sex to be with. They lack a companion. I find myself in that same situation sometimes even though I have a boyfriend. I feel like I am truly alone. And that's okay. The need for companionship is in us all. You would have to be the red dirt up on Mars if that weren't true. We all want to feel loved, we all want the attention that one gets from someone who is in synch with them. Sometimes, we have to wait for it. I had to wait five whole years before I would find someone. And it happened just like they say: you stop looking and then all of a sudden, there are potential men everywhere. I think I had four guys who wanted to date me at once. It was weird because I wasn't used to getting all of that attention. And it was great attention. However, after awhile, I got overwhelmed with it. I had been alone so long that I was very independent. I think that is what may be happening now. I feel like I am being suffocated a little and I need room to breathe. Is that bad?
