Single

People, for one reason or another, have a hard time being alone. I speak from experience when I state the single life isn't too tough.

Of course, when two people split, they're broken hearted. Some people need more time, than others, to heal and move on. But what happens when that time consumes you? Let me give an example. Everyone has that one friend that just can not let go. They almost become consumed with the "how it used to be" they fail to realize how it is.

When you become a "single", its always for a reason. Maybe that relationship wasn't giving you what you needed, but to keep it simple, maybe it was just time to call it quits. Now, can someone explain why is it when we let it go, we want it right back? Almost as though there's this fear of being alone.

Allow me to speak freely.
I have spent much of my time in a relationship such as the one I am describing. Though some of the conditions are different, it was almost the same concept. I, possibly, have had a hard time letting go. Things ended mutually, but it seems as though we have those hidden claws dug right into each others hearts. It's difficult to move on in such a predicament. Maybe, subconsciously, I'm not ready to go, and neither is he. My point here is, we are both single, he is free to do what he pleases, as am I, yet on those cold dark nights we end up together.

Is it the comfort of each others company, or am I discovering that maybe our "single" lives is a mistake?
