You ruined it
You ruined it all
I was an introvert - AM an introvert
I treasured my alone time
It was how I re-energized, healed, cleared my mind
Oh, I've always loved people and doing things with others
I enjoy parties and gatherings and get-togethers as much as anyone
But after a while, they wear me out
And I have to get away ... for a breather
Even if it's just a short time - a snippet of air.
You see, the whole extrovert/introvert thing is so often misunderstood
It's NOT about not liking people or wanting to be alone all the time
It's about where you get your energy from and how you heal
Extroverts get energized by being with others
Introverts, like me, are the opposite
They rebound and rejuvenate by the peace of isolation
But most introverts still love folks and love socializing.
I was a typical introvert my whole life
I could only be with others for so long, then I'd crumble
And I'd have to escape to silence and solitude
You destroyed that ... completely ... irrevocably
For now I NEVER want to be alone
Because it means I'm without ...
You.
