Analysis of Two's Company



I oft dream of lying
In one's amorous embrace;
Seek comfort when life is tiring,
Looking at one's familiar face.

Yet in an era of loneliness,
I find myself getting by.
In recluse I found happiness,
Instead of a hopeless sigh.

Though that dream does not cease
To linger in my mind.
It remains a hermit's timepiece
Ticking until I find

The one to share my life with,
To share my solitude.
One loner's joy is not a myth;
Perhaps two is just as good.

About this poem

An introvert enjoys being alone. Yet he's curious; is life being with someone else just as enjoyable?
