Love, protection, possession

I can feel myself slipping away. Some sort of self-protection maybe? Told myself to do away w protecting the heart, but perhaps its in-born.

Every time that we quarrel I feel myself pulling away, and maybe if you don't hold on tighter, one day I might just slip away.

They say: Love is not possessing.
But I'm not 'they'. Everyone views love in a different light.
