You are feeling that it would have been
better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.

were there, but the other is not.
Loneliness is absence of the other.

It is a presence, overflowing presence.

that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
