be alone, to be with you..

there are some cities, beaches, places..
i was there and you were not..
strolling around and sipping coffee with locals..
listen to their stories..
searching for knowing myself and facing my fears alone..

name those places, one by one..
saying again and again..
being alone and traveling
make me understand
that i love you undoubtedly..

Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving
