you are simply lonely -
and there is a tremendous difference
between loneliness and aloneness.

you are missing the other.

better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.

were there, but the other is not.

that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
