progress

i know i've made progress in the past few weeks.

why?

because you shutting me out isn't as nearly distressing as it used to be.

yes, it "sent me tumbling" for about an hour yesterday.  

but then i was over it.

that doesn't mean i don't love you and don't want to be in your life.

it just means that right now, you're the one with the issue.

i can't change that.

i can't control your behavior; i can only control my own.

i can't force you to be my friend again.

all i can do is peacefully, patiently, understandingly love you from afar.

i'll be here when you figure it out.
