Im Not Ready.....

I just got out a relationship
I thought was long and everlasting.
I need some time,
can you give it to me?
You say you like me
gon' buy me stuff
and Im claimed by you and can claim you
when Im ready.
Im not ready
Im not ready for anything
love
relationships
anything.
You're sweet, cute, caring
charming and relaxing
but emotional.
I like you
but not enough 
to start a new relationship.
Dont get me wrong, you're a good man
but Im just not ready.
give it some time
give me some time, to think things through and over.
I've been hurt 
and dont wish to go down that road again.
I thought that last time
and a long relationship
hurt me, crashed me.....badly.
It'll take a while 
to get over 
So please.....lets be friends...right now
Im not ready...
