I Need Time

"I need time".
When I said these words I could feel your skin turning cold. Your body spoke louder than words...your deepest insecurity exposed before me.

Time to think.
Time to myself.
Time to meditate.
Time to be alone.
Time does not mean I'm leaving.
It means...
"I need a break."
Not from us, my love... a break from myself; A break from the pressure.
I need some relief! Please never think I'm leaving.
"it isn't you it's me."
But this isn't a break up.
These words are not a part of a speech to let you down easy. These are just the only words I know how to use.
I know these words have in the past, been used to hurt you...but now I need them to help us.
Time is not the enemy.
Being alone is not the end.
Taking a break doesn't mean that it's over.
It means we have space to fall in love again.
