finding myself without you

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want to talk to you anymore... it's more of, I don't want to be taken fore granted anymore. I care a lot for you, but I car for myself too. I need the time to be alone; to be able to reflect on my purpose as an individual. I need my self-worth. I'm not sure what it is that's happening, all I know is that I need to prove to myself that I can live fully- apart from you. You mean too much right now, and I have to protect myself from myself. Also, I cannot deal with the reality of my vulnerability right now. 

Give me time. Time to grow a little more. Time to suffer a lot more. I do not know what will become of me. Perhaps I will soften a bit more, and approach you. Perhaps I will harder a bit more, and won't. Give me time alone for myself, my thoughts and my feelings. I need to feel, once more, that I am me & you are you. That I am a being separate from you- allow me to appreciate the things in my life even without you- then, perhaps, will I be able to come to you & offer you a friendship, and a love, pure & unattained.
