My loneliness and I

My loneliness and I, we often have this conversation:
If you were present in my life, how might it be?
You'd say this, or you would say that…
You would be irritated by something I'd say, you'd laugh at something else…
If you were there, it might be like this, or perhaps, it might be like that,
Yes, my loneliness and I, we often have this conversation.
(Silsila, Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum, 1981)
