The face I thought was just a face
A face, among many in my workplace
That face, when left, for good
Surprisingly, with a heavy heart, I stood
I realised that face could be a good friend
Sadly, this relation, before it started had the end
But after a matter of three weeks
I had a broad smile on my cheeks
The very same face had dropped in to say hello!
To all people who mattered, you know!
The face also enquired about how life was treating us
And shared the new workplace experiences without any fuss
That day I realised I had discovered a new friend
From an acquaintance with whom my relation had almost end.

It’s true we feel lonely in a crowd and smile as a hand holds ours.

That is so true! In fact being alone is fun when we enjoy our own company

But on the other hand, being lonely in a crowd can be depressing!

This was a beautiful piece of work. There was a time when I used to be surrounded by faces and wonder whether they liked me; today I wonder whether I like them. I guess once I started loving my own company what all these faces in the crowd thought mattered very little to me and I stopped feeling lonely. 🙂

I can’t agree more! ❤ Liking people and being liked by people doesn’t really matter when one loves oneself. Self doubt replaced by self love makes one not just more loving towards all but also more confident in oneself. Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 🙂

A great piece, I find myself always alone with myself no matter how many people may be around. Nobody gets me, I worries me not, I am happy with me 🙂
