Loneliness

What is loneliness?  
"Noun  

1. A feeling of depression resulting from being alone or from having no companions.  
 
2. The condition or state of being alone or having no companions.  
 
3. The state of being unfrequented or devoid of human activity (of a place or time).  
 
4. (obsolete) A desire to be alone; disposition to solitude."  
 
Says the WordHippo website,  
That is what I feel inside,  
When I feel loneliness,  
But for some, it seems much more of a tangled mess.  
 
Where in that definition does it say,  
The desire for intimate relations when everyone has gone away?  
Why do some give themselves away,  
And get tangled in a web of pain, like a runaway,  
Just to feel something, anything?  
Am I missing something?  
 
I just can't understand, I can't see,  
I guess it must just be me.  
I don't feel the need for intimacy when lonely.  
 
When I'm lonely, I want a friend,  
Just a friend,  
Someone who cares enough to try to cheer me up,  
Not someone to mess me up,  
By giving my most special parts to,  
When I don't even know who they are true.  
 
I don't get it,  
I wish I did understand it,  
Then I could relate to more than 5% of the population.  
Although being greysexual, does mean more compassion,  
In every relationship,  
Even if it's just friendship,  
Because of getting to know them,  
And first, and forever, being friends with them.
