Alone or lonely?

"I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone.

I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone.

It gives me time to think and set my mind free.

I like eating alone and listening to music alone.

But when I see a mother with her child,

a girl with her lover,

or a friend laughing with tears,

I realize that even though I like being alone,

I don't fancy being lonely."
