Wanting space

Cause when you want space, it means you're suffocated.

You demand for space because you:

Want to be understood.
Want to be free.
Want to be separated.

Like how you understand each and every word you utter, you write.. because you put space between them.
Like how you can feel that the world does not owe you anything.. floating freely in the galaxies.
Like how two people felt that they've been so close and just want to get away.

*sigh*

What if in the middle of demanding and wanting space, you find yourself building high and strong walls?

A precaution. A limit.

To avoid contacts, scared to be hurt again.
Because you once let down the walls of your heart, and find yourself crashing on the ground.

But that's the downfall of wanting to feel the thing you call love, right?
To risk the feeling of being hurt and vulnerable.
To be human.

To open up yourself.
In spite of pain. of harsh words and inevitable actions.

Just to feel how to love.. and be loved in return.
