How much Loneliness can affect you.

'Main aur meri tanhayee' -- The words made eternal by AB.

'Tanhayee' -- Wonderful song by Sonu Nigam in Dil Chata Hai.

'Zindagi to bewafa hai, ek din choda jayaegi. Moauth mehbooba hai apni, saath ley kar jayaegi' -- Kishore Kumar in Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. This could be easily adapted to, 'Suhbat meri, bewafa nhikali, ek din choda jayaegi; Tanhayee meri, bawafaa dost, meri saath na thodaegi'

Bewafa means deserter.
Bawafaa means long lasting companion/loyal companion.

A persons eternal companion - loneliness.
It is with you in the dark.
It is with you during light.
Even your shadow deserts you when darkness falls.
Being alone is tough. Being alone is brave.
Tough to cope with your thoughts. Being alone breeds you dark fears.
It paints a dark picture, yet you can not wipe the canvas.
Makes you think of all those things which you could have done better.
Yet loneliness is the road to salvation.
When that feeling of being lonely strikes, no music can give you company.
No chord can ever titillate you out of the corner.
It is such a corner, where there is no escape.
You have only one way out, fight.
To fight it you need help. But you are the only one who can help yourself.
How does one control this amazing companion.
With or Without you - I can not live.

Credit goes the original

I am nothing but a tinkered facsimile

My version

You may not reminisce me
For I was one in a thousand.
I can not erase thee,
For you were the one amidst the thousand.

Your passage swayed me,
Yet you will never know.
For it is what I truly felt,
Yet never could tell you so.

My thoughts often don't summon your essence,
Yet my conscience longs for your presence.
Though you don't make my everyday,
Your story will make my children's day.

You may never fly past me again,
For which I never regret,
You flew away, for
You were never mine to be.
