This is me putting my walls back up

The silence that follows today, is me putting back the distance, rebuilding the walls I let you into, and finding peace again alone. I can’t be the only one reaching out, I can’t be the only reason we see each other, friends with no expectations inside those walls I can do, but what I can’t do is let you get close enough to hurt me, and it’s getting there, so with that, I won’t call, I won’t text, anything beyond now is up to you, because I did try, and I can’t let my overthinking be my down fall once again, so instead I’ll let my silence be my downfall, I’ll miss you, I’ll miss those moments, our friendship will always hold value, I’ll miss it all, but I can’t sacrifice my heart alone, not again, I’ve done it too many times to count, and I can’t.
