Anita,

Thank you. That was beautiful. My arms are very tired and weary. It feels as if I have nothing left in the tank.

Matty,

It’s so hard not to give up. I’m pretty much giving up on a person. And I never want to give up on anyone. And then I’m also giving up on myself. Heartbreak is so hard. I’m left picking up the pieces and she’s on with someone else now. That’s what’s hard about it. It’s hard to let go. Because what was once mine is now gone.

Belle,

I can’t. She doesn’t want to see or hear me and I don’t want to see or hear her. I can’t face her. She would bring me to my knees and I would weep. I can’t do that to myself. Because as “strong” as I have to be in all of this, it would make me feel weak and needy. What girl wants a guy like that? It would reassure her she made a good choice in leaving me. I have to show some self respect for myself. I wish I could see her and talk about it, but it won’t be as good as I would think.

Thanks all for the replies.

Andy
