To a lover

 I am sorry that I was so inarticulate the other night. It was the end of a long weekend, I had a cloudy head, and I was caught off-guard by the situation. Let me start this off by saying that I care about you so so much and if through any of this it seems that you are not a very important part of my life then I am sorry. That is not true and it is not my intent.

I hope that we can still maintain some of the things that we talked about in ____, to whatever degree that is possible. The situation is unfortunate. We are moving at different paces and when it comes down to it we just aren't coming together at the same spots. I am not mad at you, I cannot stress enough that you haven't done anything to hurt me. I hope that you can eventually come to the point where you can see me as a friend and not somebody to be mad at. But at this point I totally understand that you are upset. I am upset, too. I am worried about you. But I know that it will be best for both of us at this point if we just try and move forward. I have seen how much you have grown since we have been together and I am confident that us being apart will not prevent you from continuing that growth. This is going to be a difficult process for both of us, but in the end it will be best for the both of us as well. I hope that this will help you understand where I am coming from, and it is my genuine hope that we can both become stronger people because of this. You changed my life. That's not going away.
