The difference between being lonely and being alone, he knew it too well.
Dark alleys were unusually bright that night, chilly wind were detectable even here, where no one used to walk. He was alone again. Alone. He never minded that, he liked it, well he liked it from time to time. How could he possibly admitted that he liked company? Or that he mind to be lonely? He could not, he would rather not do that. It was not his thing, too need someone. Smirk appeared upon his lips and he stopped. Being alone, he enjoyed that, but there was another feeling, the one that never left him, even when he was among others. Loneliness. The difference between being lonely and being alone, he knew it too well and he knew that he was lonely. Despite of the fact that he didn’t want to admit that, ever. This kind of thoughts made him weak in his own eyes and he could not be weak, he promised. Noise behind him made him still. This noise was too loud to be made by rat, even a big one. Before he managed to turn his head he heard man’s voice definitely directed to him.
‘I can help you’ said the man. Help? He did not need help. He turned around to see a man, he was about his height, thin and sad. Pain. How could he help him if he himself was in need, obviously. He didn’t want help anyway. They were just standing there, two strangers, that was ridiculous itself, this situation. Interesting.
‘What do you mean?’ he asked him . He just stare back, sad smile on his lips, he lowered his head and looked at his shoes and then back at him again.
‘I just know how it feels, loneliness’ man answered ‘I know it too well’

Well, let’s just say it worked, ok? It’s my 100th post and with this one little ‘something’ I wanted to thank you all for being with me and bearing me all this time. Annie suggested follow forever, but I just don’t want to do this now, too much risk that I miss out someone or won’t do this in a way I would like to. Maybe someday. Now you have to just be with this, not the best but I tried and I wanted to write it the way you could choose who is who. Did I manage, I have no idea, it’s your decision. Thank you again, stay what you are, amazing.
