OKAY

I'm wondering how far I can push myself into someone else's life to the point that they realise they should be pushing me back out where I belong. 

Here, let me help you: this is the point. Unclench your fists and wiggle your toes, darling. 

Relax. 

I know how to read between the lines.

I'll take my leave then. 

Not a break, not a pause. 

Let's put a full stop. 

You can close this chapter and turn a new page without bricks in your shoes, without blood in your ink. 

Thank you for loving me. You can stop now.
