When living alone, is there an imaginary wonderful embrace that ...?

that's funny. it depends how independent you are?! if you are reliant on other people and feel as though you need to have someone there to feel secure and loved and protected then no! if you don't think like that then, do you really need it?? if you are safe in the knowledge that ti exists anyway, then it's the urance you have in the knowledge and trust you have in those around that stays with you... even at night!
