Well, you emailed, short, but it was an email. Thank you for doing so. You mentioned how hard it was to work out this friendship because it was still so soon after the breakup. Honestly, I don't know that it will ever become less than a little weird. Maybe for you it will, but for me it never quite will get to that point. The simple fact remains that I still do and always will see you as the half that makes me whole. If I didn't, we wouldn't even be discussing the difficulties of making a friendship where once there was a love relationship. I haven't remained friends with my exes. Haven't wanted to . . .that is until you. You are far too important a soul in my life for me to be content without you being in it or at least knowing that I tried as hard as I could to have you in my life, even if it should prove to only be a friend. So thank you. Thank you for having the strength and the care to write me back. It means the world to me.
I will not write you back right away. I don't want to add stress to your life by making it seem I am taking up time you would rather be spending on yourself or others. I won't wait nearly three weeks, but it won't be right away either.
I read some more today. I am getting dangerously close to completing the only book that I am now reading. It is time for a library or bargain book bin run to pick up some other reads. Reading is helping to save me, so a steady supply of books is a necessity.
I got an A on my lesson 5, for equine massage, which is now complete. Just waiting for lesson six to arrive, so I can start doing some actual massage work.
I counted 13 total Kia's today - number 9 looked just like yours though it wasn't. I saw a trainer in the charts from last week named Alexander Nicholas and there was another person I saw about today whose initials were the same as yours and who lives in Louisa, VA. It brought to mind that dream I had where you were texting me to tell me you were canoeing there.
I love you, Alexa, nothing in the world will ever change that. I hope one day you will figure out that not only do you want to be my best friend, but that you want to be my partner again, at my side for the rest of our lives and each other's biggest fan.
Working hard to be your friend,
MNP
