closer still.

i believe,

that it is necessary for two people, whose hearts are intertwined with one another that it is almost impossible to break them apart, to keep their distance close to one another. the moment you decide to have some time alone, you will get lost. because along the solitude way that you have taken, you eventually forget the reasons why you gave a part of you to that someone. and the more you search for the answer, racking your brain for that distant memory, the more faltered your steps will be. then you decide that it must not be that important to you, because if it is, then for sure you will remember. so you gave up altogether. what you did not know is that no matter how long you search, no matter how far you look, you will never get the answer, because there is no answer. that is what you forgot; that there used to be no reason why you gave that someone a part of you. not because of the way he smells after shave, not the crinkle in his eyes when he squints them, not the last cookie he ate, not the way he scrunches his face in pain when you hit him hard, not the things he borrowed but never returned. none of them. it was just something that you felt like doing, that giving someone a part of you makes you complete. and absence wipes that memory away, like a clean slate. a blank canvas that needs to be coloured once again.
