Alone?

I am surrounded by many.
Yet feel alone.
It's an ironic feeling.
Being in a room filled with others, yet, emotionally isolated.
Love, friendship, companionship - much of it comes from inside rather than the outside.
Internal, not external.
We have to love ourselves before others will love us.
We have to be our own friend before others will befriend us.
We have to feel togetherness, even if we are physically isolated.
Then, and only then, will we find our lifelong companion.
Our self.
And then, and only then, will we never be alone.
