alone = without other people around you: 'I've thought about getting
married, but I prefer living alone.'
lonely = sad because you are alone and feel that nobody loves you or
cares about you: 'I didn't know anyone in Boston and felt very lonely.'
'Sarah hated the long lonely days in the empty house.'
