Si, the words were not hurtful at all and were very much appreciated. Your recent comments brought some peace to my tumultuous mind, but I still hope to keep things somewhat the way they were. I hope we’re strong enough, and if we’re not…I hope I’m strong enough to walk away or be able to transition into the new ‘us’. I’m not sure I can be that strong, to be honest. Today has been difficult, as are most days. We see each other daily at work. We carpool home…The fact that I can’t separate myself from him sometimes is painful, but we still laugh together, work civilly, and are trying to get somewhere with something. He kissed my cheek today when I dropped him off and has been texting me periodically throughout the evening. I’m not sure what’s happening, and I’m not being optimistic. Well, at least I can try and convince myself I’m not. Some days he pushes me away, and others it’s almost as if he’s afraid to actually touch or kiss me the way he wants. It’s sad and exhausting, and I don’t want our relationship to deteriorate into that abyss. I can’t walk away though…
