Funny. Some jumpy structure issues, but it mostly works with the rambling, near-stream-of-consciousness thing you were going for, like this is being told impromptu over a cup of coffee. I did like the twist that the ‘someone’ you’re referring to isn’t “the one”, but someone who accidentally or incidentally puts you in the path of the one.

I just love how truth keeps popping up in your writing, Lady V.

I imagine this as part of a conversation between to friends – one down and depressed – the other (the speaker here) optimistic.

Loneliness can leave a person feeling hopeless – but that feeling might cause you to miss the chance to not be alone.

Upwards and onwards, hard as it might be.
