I'm sorry I was weird earlier. It's just that I felt rejected, and even though I know that was not the case, I needed to draw inward until I could balance myself out again. That's just how I cope. It's one of those things you will come to learn in time.

I'm still trying to figure out where I stand with you. I mean, I know where I "stand;" I know the status of our relationship, and I am glad we are on the same page with that. But I am still trying to figure out how secure I feel with you. So please, bear with me as I do so. I want it to work between us, and for that to happen I need to have a sturdy foundation. That will take time. I am hoping you have the patience to bear with me through it.
