I read his letters over and over like a junkie.
I trace each thought and heart leap, mulling them over, savoring and sucking all the meaning out of each endearment, rolling it on my tongue, voicing it to feed my starving soul, willing for more to come. Like a child sent to her room to ponder her misbehavior, I am
banished.
I hate this silence.
I hate this neediness
I hate that I call you and you can’t hear me
I hate hat I can’t read your face or your eyes
I hate that I hug myself to sleep holding it together and my hands are not yours
I hate that I am so scared of being too much and not enough.
I hate that you warned me, but I don’t listen very well.
unbuttoned or undone

This whole thing sounds like a one-sided relationship. Not the way things are ideally supposed to work out. Recipe for disaster.

Perhaps. I rescued a cat once who had been so damaged that he could not stand to be petted; yet he liked to rest within reach. That was as much as he could give. We are all wounded in some ways, I think… The heart has its reasons that reason doesn’t know.

Alot of hate here – leaves you wondering is it worth it?

Probably not… it doesn’t solve or help anything. I know that. Still I wish I did not care, did not want, and was impervious to the silent treatment.

emmylgant….. Have you tried to talk? If silence has replaced the babble of love, he may not be the one for you, or he is too cocksure – knowing you still want him…I say withdraw , don’t let him in, write lots, let your heart recover and your soul refresh …it will happen.
