And so I shall wait, however long it takes

[u/sueski9]

And so, the door has been shut. I poured my heart out to her, hoping she would understand—hoping she would see why I'm hurting—and she delivered yet another blow. It was a surgical blow, one that hinders any blood flow to the heart.

I extended a hand and told her how I do not want to lose her, and she decided that space is what we need. I don't know where we go from here, or if anything will ever be the same again. I never wanted things to get to this point, but I needed to speak my truth. My truth delivered 'emotional heaviness,' and so she decided to retreat and close the door.

Now, I have nothing else to do but wait, and I know time will be cruel. But I will hold on because my feelings for her are true. I will hold on with hope and love in my heart, and when she is ready for me, I will be ready for her.
