I prefer to be alone
less stimuli, less worries
lots of rest then tomorrow
maybe we'll go somewhere together
but I prefer to be alone
With someone else around me
I may look happy but I make myself small
I can't be myself
Ideally I want to escape but to where
Only then I feel alone
so I prefer to be alone
Only not during sex
I need to feel you, very close to me
So put your arms around me
then we'll be one together
Otherwise I prefer to be alone
