I\u2019ve always been scared of being alone. Afraid of not finding that someone who will stick around.<\/p>\n\n
They say we all have our person, and that they\u2019re waiting for us, somewhere\u2026 somehow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
But although most people meet their soulmate during their lifetime; The sad truth is they\u2019re not always the person with whom we spend our lives.<\/p>\n\n
It\u2019s hard. It’s hard to know, to realize that you\u2019re in front of the one person who will change your life forever. Because we are all hurting, and we are all afraid to open up and make ourselves vulnerable again.. just to get hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
Yeah, I\u2019ve always been scared of being alone. But somehow I became strong, and somehow I learnt to like being alone. Until you showed up in my life, and your voice\u00a0 shook my entire world. And how I see or do things. And you made me believe in the things I never believed in before. Like soulmates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
You inspired me.. you hurt me, then healed me\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
You broke me, then fixed me…<\/p>\n\n
And I still loved you, and you still loved me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
\u00a0But you\u2019re now a thousand miles away, and I feel lost, empty, confused.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s like waking up in a public place everyday in socks, alone. Wondering what the hell I was thinking, baring myself like this, for all to see.<\/p>\n\n
And it\u2019s strange –\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
\u2018Cause sometimes I want to be surrounded by people.<\/p>\n\n
But sometimes I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n
\u2018Cause sometimes I want to be alone.<\/p>\n\n
But sometimes I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n
\u00a0You reminded me of who I am, and only you could make sense of this hopeless clingy\u00a0 boy. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n
I know I can live without you.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t wanna\u2026 I don\u2019t ever wanna.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
Because if you go, my happiness goes with you.<\/p>\n\n
And then I\u2019m left in socks, alone. Wondering what the hell\u00a0 I was thinking. Baring myself like this. For all to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
