Four hundred years ago, another well-known English guy had an opinion about being alone.
John Donne. He thought we were never alone.
Of course, it was fancier when he said it.
“No man is an island entire unto himself.”
Boil down that island talk, and he just meant that
all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we’re not alone.
And who’s to say that someone can’t have four legs,
someone to play with or run around with, or just hang out.

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales,
that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress,
prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill.
You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes
and you had complete and utter faith.
Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming,
they were so close you could taste them,
but eventually you grow up,
one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears.
Most people turn to the things and people they can trust.
But the thing is it is hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely
cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith,
that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.
