i've never felt this alone before, like this could be the thing that breaks us. we have different communication styles. he's a talker, i'm a writer. i don't talk back, he doesn't write back, and we're left expressing our emotions more for the satisfaction of our own minds than anything else. relationships do not work like this. they involve give and take...tenderness, compromise, honesty.
we're not happy and i don't know that we have been for a while. we have good days, good moments, but not like we used to. i keep waiting for the day when the distance is over - it's been long enough, and it's not helping us to grow anymore. there are some conversations that just shouldn't happen over the phone, but we've got another month before we'll have the chance to have it in person...
