Companionship

                     "We can touch each other in so many ways,

                 throughout the nights and the days.

                 You don't have to be near,

                 as our love travels through the air"

I have heard more than one real life case where someone passes and they are only discovered some days 

later on. This is due to the fact that they lived alone and also largely went unnoticed. So many thoughts cross

my mind whenever I hear of this. You wonder who were their loved ones. Were those who cared 

about them far away? The most unsettling thought is that they may not have had anyone who truly cared for 

them. I recall reading an article where it detailed that the man lived alone, ate alone, slept alone, and died 

alone. This was all to solidify the point that loneliness can kill us.

This also had me pondering if we can show love from a distance and if this distant love could ease 

someone's feelings of loneliness. With the advent of technology that allows us to reach out virtually using 

video calls and chats, are we seeing any decrease in the number of people who are experiencing the despair 

not having someone to talk to and laugh with? Of course, there's nothing like the real thing where loved 

ones are there to hold our hands, touch our faces and share smiles that say a thousand words.

Obviously, there's the need to reach out to whomever we suspect needs someone to talk with and share a 

joke that seems funnier than it really is. You, me, anyone of us coud be that change as nobody wants to feel 

that they could die tomorrow and noone would notice.
