Draw the line!

You are comfortable in your skin, your self and your space is all you need to survive.
I need to understand this, I need to stop finding a crevice to crawl into. 
I need to stop hoping to make space for myself.
You have spent enough of time with yourself, and are not open any more to anyone like me, who wants to embrace you and share some space with you.

I need to breath in and live this reality. 
It is time I understand and imbibe this reality as part of my being.
I need to stop allowing myself to be vulnerable and hurt. It is not that you are intentionally doing this. It is just the way you are.
And the onus is on me now, to draw the line and say this is all of my self I am willing to put out there and nothing more.

I am stepping back. I have done my part. Now I will live my life, like I normally do.
Your scent in my life will fade one day, like the scent of so many before you.
I will lie on my bed all alone, and will hold my pillow for solace once again.
"It is better to be alone", I keep telling myself, but only I know how much I need someone to be besides me, while I walk on this road called life.
