Single Rose

Singleness. Loneliness. Alone-ness.
Why is everyone running from it?
Why so many songs and books and movies all with the theme; make sure somebody loves you?
It's this hour.
The calm after the days storm.
When you want someone to remind you what's real, what matters.
Someone to talk to, about everything.
About nothing.
Just to talk.
To listen.
We all selling our souls for peanuts to the one who will listen.
We all laying them down by the riverside for the one who will make us laugh.
And we listen to Ed Sheeran and he tells us he thinking out loud about loving us till we 70. Kenny Lattimore promising us all his tomorrows and Toni Braxton putting it all on the line just to be his baby.
Its beautiful.
How can it not be?
Its laughter and conversation.
Companionship.
Random texts and phone calls to share alot of everything and nothing.
Its complimenting each other as well as paying each other compliments.
Its friendship.
Crying and comfort.
Fighting and protection.
Breaking up and making up.
Ultimately, its not being single or lonely or alone.
Like Mali Music says; its no fun alone.
