the only soul

There are days when I feel like I am the only soul on the face of the earth. All the phone calls, emails, and visits from my friends do nothing to change this feeling. I feel like the world is yet full of people at the same time. All of them nothing to me. I wonder why I must feel like this day after day. And then someone does call. I think the feeling is due to the fact that I want one person to be with me, just to be near me, and they are not. It breaks me at times. All it takes is one call to lift me from this and it is never the right person calling me.
