have you ever...

Have you ever been all alone
with just your computor and chatting online with your beloved
or just talking to a few friends over the Internet
and yet you feel so surrounded by people,
so happy and so treasured?

Have you ever been at a gathering
and physically surrounded by people who are talking to you
but your heart feels so cold and lonely
as if you are all alone in the world?

Have you ever been with your gang of friends
sitting and listening to the conversations
yet you feel like you are being left out of the fun
that you are isolated from the group
and that tears are welling up in your eyes?

Have you ever walk by yourself
and saw something funny or interesting that makes you smile
then you turn around to share it with somebody
only to find strangers walking past you
and that smile on your face just vanished?

Have you ever walked with a friend
but both of you are not talking
and yet you feel so comfortable walking in silence
just enjoying the company of being with someone
and knowing that when you wanna talk,
someone would be there?

Have you ever called that special someone
and talk for hours
then a silence falls over both of you
but you don't wanna put down the phone
just wanting to hold on to it
and knowing that when you have something to say
your special someone is there to listen?

Have you ever had a friend who promised to call
but he/she never did
and you waited by the telephone
waiting for it to ring
only to retire to your bed at night
filled with disappointment and anger?

Have you ever been by yourself
and feel like your world is coming to an end
but when you wanna turn to someone for comfort
all you find is emptiness?
