dear lonliness

dear lonliness,
  thank you for showing me the darkness.  now i can truly appreciate the light.  thank you for leaving me in solitude.  now i can truly enjoy the company of another.  thank you for causing me pain.  now i can truly enjoy the love that heals me even when it seems to hurt.  dear lonliness, thank you for being silent for so long.  now i can truly appreciate the sounds of life and music.  thank you for showing me what death would do to others and to myself.  now i can live knowing that life is truly a blessing.
so dear lonliness, as you leave my life please know that, although im not sad to see you go, i wouldnt be who i am without you.  until you leave, i will not be afraid of you.  i will learn and live, and in the end the day will come that you leave me.
i am not afraid.
