I love my solitude

by Everlasting   Jun 11, 2016


"I miss you"

He said.

And I replied,

Do you miss me because you feel lonely?
Or do you feel lonely because you miss me?

---

I must say that I
Love my solitude the same way I love him
And for me to love him
Even when I love my solitude

It must be madness.

---

So I asked him,

Do you miss me because you feel lonely?
Or do you feel lonely because you miss me?

And he replied,

"What?..."

    Lice, I love the style of this poem as Andrew said it's unique. I do like the speech within the piece and feel many people if not everybody can relate it will eventually.

    "I miss you"

    He said.

    A great opening. The speech is great as I said. Many people can relate to this as I miss you is (I feel) used as often as I love you, unfortunately as usually in the wrong context and untrue.

    And I replied,

    Do you miss me because you feel lonely?
    Or do you feel lonely because you miss me?
    ^^
    Love this part because many people will only say it because they are lonely not because they miss you. Again, relatable.

    I must say that I
    Love my solitude the same way I love him
    And for me to love him
    Even when I love my solitude

    The pause is a good way of making us readers pause and catch breath like I feel the writer did when thinking of him and the feeling of alone.. Wondering if she loves being lonely as much as she loves him, perhaps?

    It must be madness.

    Love sends us mad as does not being in love or loved.

    So I asked him,

    Do you miss me because you feel lonely?

    Love the repetition here.

    And he replied,

    "What?..."
    ^^
    Hmm, makes me wonder if you've split or just having a conversation with a partner. Either way, great work.

    All the best, Em
