I am lonely - you are not alone in this feeling

I've been lonely for 15 years. I long for closeness, for love. I'm ashamed of it because I have no reason to be, life is good, I have friends. But it's just not the same. I do not have a partner.<br><br>In the evening I lie in bed and wish I could talk to someone. I wish I could be hugged. I don't want to be alone anymore.<br><br>I do my best every day to make my life better. I'm trying to find someone. But I'm alone.<br><br>You are not alone. Needless to say, i'm sorry. I wish we all had a better life.
