    Romances paint at full length people's wooings,
    But only give a bust of marriages:
    For no one cares for matrimonial cooings.
    There's nothing wrong in a connubial kiss.
    Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife,
    He would have written sonnets all his life?

Sometimes, it is good to be "alone".... but that doesn't make us lonely. It is not a matter of being present "with" someone, it is a matter of being present " to" someone.
