I don’t feel lonely being alone

I like being alone. And probably more so when I’m alone with someone who cares. We can talk, just the two of us, and not have a care in the world. We can talk about the things we want to do, places we want to go. I can talk without having to bother if the next person beside me thinks I’m talking or laughing too loudly. I don’t need to bother. And everytime I talk about the things I actually care about, it feels like I’m getting closer. Almost as if I’m finally picking up speed and running.
