How alone is alone?

Having loved you,
and known you
so deeply intimate
as I have...
can I ever feel
for another
as I have for you?
For I believed it was more
than just body into body
but soul touching soul.
It meant so much more to me
that just surface satisfaction.
As you said... I gave you everything
but my life...
and you held me
in your open hand
and blew me away.
Lady bug, Lady bug
fly away home...
Please... don't return.
And now all I feel is this hollow chasm
that I think couldn't be filled
by the total world's population
that is how alone... is ALONE.
