A Kind of Loving

Here it is – here’s how loneliness gets you in the end. You think if you find your dream, the person you’re looking for, it’ll be the end of loneliness for ever. And then, at the end, it creeps up on you again and finds you sitting in an old wing-chair in a gloomy old house, on your own, with everybody gone, and nothing to do but wait for the end. And maybe this is the worst loneliness of all, because you’ve got no hope of anything else.
