“I need some space”

Why does that phrase scare me so fucking much? I guess to me, if someone were to tell me that, it feels like they’re basically telling me, “Oh, you’re too clingy. Let me put a wall between us two because I don’t like how you’re getting too attached.” I’m sorry, it’s just in my nature. I wouldn’t expect that someone like you would have such a big impact in my life, therefore having to be with you is practically an impulse without my consent sometimes. It’s just a feeling that takes over that I want to be with someone important in my life like yourself; because with you, I can actually imagine a future. If I can imagine that, then obviously I can’t really even fathom the idea of you being out of my life, let alone you separating even by the slightest bit; because every single day, I find that I’m falling more and more for you. And for you to one day tell me that we’ll have to separate a bit kinda scares me because you’re practically telling me, “Hey, fuck your feelings, because I don’t feel the same way. Just move on with your life, it’s for the best.”
