Maybe

Maybe the reason I let go is because I'm afraid to let you lose yourself trying to fix a problem with no source

Maybe the reason I pull back is because I don't want you to drown in this ocean of uncertainty with me

Maybe the reason I closed off is because after being crowded by my own thoughts for so long, I'm afraid of the peace I will find in being alone with yours

Maybe I have surrendered to the strict margins I'm supposed to stay in, that your coloring outside the lines brings chos to my ordered mind.
