Feelings

I was recently approached with the question from a friend, who I hope one day turns more serious. "What do you do when you're lonely?" to which I responded, "I focus on my writing or play video games, anything to take my mind off my loneliness. It's true I have done those things, but the loneliness still comes back. For instance, every time I see a picture of a half naked or fully naked man in a magazine, my loneliness returns. I know, I've been fighting these feelings for quite some time now and I wonder if they ever go away, or do we need someone by our side to make them go away.
