He Needs His Space

He asked me for space again
I said “yes”
But this aching in my chest
Tells me that it’s not okay
And that it hurts everyday
That I am not with him.
I feel hurt and taken for granted
I feel the dynamic is slanted
We never go on dates anymore
It doesn’t help that we’re both poor
He always wants to stay home
I feel unwanted and alone
He rarely calls me his Bbg
He hardly ever flirts with me
He already broke my heart
Maybe things can’t go back to the start 
When he would smile and caress my face
And hold me in his warm embrace
Even though I love him
I’m starting to resent him...
And I don’t know how to tell him
Without the fear of loosing him
