I Need To Find The Balance

I struggle with balance.

It's a little strange, I always have a balanced view of things, but I completely fail at attaining balance.

When I meet people I connect with, it's difficult for me not to get too attached. I like you, and having you in my life enriches it... of course I'd want you around all the time.

But I know it's suffocating... and when I try to maintain a balance it always involves distancing myself from you.

I have to pretend that you don't matter as much to me... and it hurts me and at times, you.

I don't know how to stop all these emotions without completely cutting them out.
