The Free Spirit

I know love you me and maybe I love you too. Well, I dont know. I dont know what I feel about us anymore. I wouldnt blame you. Its not you, its me. I know its a cliché. Its something everyone says when they want to leave without hurting the other person. But I do not mean it that way. You should know that I would never be afraid of hurting your feelings, because I know that you can handle it. I have realised that everyone is capable of handling pain. We just deal with it differently. I find this realisation a bit sad. But I do not want to digress. So, heres the thing, I have loved and lost. I have fallen apart, picked my own pieces and tread ahead. I am not who I was yesterday. I evolve every single day. I know I am and I am alone responsible for my happiness. I do not expect anything from anyone and I cannot afford to let someone expect something of me. Its not that I am incapable of fulfilling those expectations but, I just dont want to be responsible for someones happiness. I cannot stick to a person. I cannot stay committed to you. I dont want to make you promises. I have lived alone for a really long time. I stray, wander and I may return, but I cannot guarantee you that. I dont want you to wait for me. Maybe you have a huge heart. Maybe you have enough love to give this entire world. So, maybe you should go ahead and give all that love to someone because, your love does not belong with me. I do not belong to anyone not through love or any kind of bondage. I am a lone wolf, a free spirit and the person who can never reciprocate your love because, thats what freedom does to you. Thats what happens when you have learnt to love yourself. You do not need anyone else. Maybe not just yet.
