time was

time was we could get in the car and drive to someone's house without calling first, and they were always happy to see us. i miss those days. it's a different world. i want to go back.

"let's go visit someone".... followed by a long car ride. music on the radio... AM radio had more music in those days. i knew all the words to all the songs. i could identify the make and model of any car by the rear view of it...they didn't all look alike back then. it's a different world.

i miss the adventure of following familiar routes to pleasing destinations. visiting people i loved who loved me. i do not belong in this world, so very different from the world of my youth. how did we ever end up here.

so very lonely

there is no solace in the day

no

one

is

listening

as I plead for someone to talk to

face to face interaction is so important to mental health

I am so alone
