- I know you're right. I know I still need space to figure things out. I still love you, even though things are complicated. I hate that this is riding entirely on me; you know I don't like being the one to make decisions like this all by myself. I don't know how it's going to work if I do decide to give it a shot. I think I will; I just don't know what it's going to look like.

But I am going to put this on the back burner for a bit. I have other things I need to work on. It's not because I don't love you and I am not concerned about us, because I am. But life moves on for both of us, and parts of my life are moving quickly at the moment. I will not neglect a good relationship, maybe the healthiest relationship I've ever had, just because things are crappy for us right now. I hope you understand.

- I wish I felt comfortable telling you that I love you more often.
