Alone

Sometimes I just do not give a damn.

You do not know how lonely I am.

Too hell with Covit-19, I want to be "me".

So... Out there I go, seeing friends that I know.

I want to be living life, like before, simple and free.

I no longer cover my face.

Not with close friends, while in my own place.

I now take chances to a large degree.

Please understand, at six feet apart.

I can not feel the beating of your heart.

Being close is nicer, you do agree.

I do enjoy feeling the warmth of your breath.

Even though it could bring my death.

However, experiencing life is more important to me.

Remember, I am a very lonely man.

Getting satisfaction, I can.

If I could just go back to being "me".

High, Nicola. A roll of the dice, but having company is nice. I can not do the mask in my own house.

I feel this way too. Then I remember not to take too many risks.
But life is short.
