I went out for dinner last weekend, for a best friends birthday. It was a really nice night, good company, good food, and lots of laughs. What struck me, though, was how odd it felt that there were 3 couples, and me. It felt very lonely, despite being surrounded by people. I tried to imagine when I ever take someone along to meet my friends, how it will feel, what it will be like. It's a hopeful feeling, but it gets scary sometimes, feeling this alone. I love this poem by Cummings, it's so beautiful, in so many ways. Pure, beautiful, art. It makes me feel a little less alone.
