A Fine, Fine Line

I just got done hurting someone I used to really care about. Part of me still cares.

But there was no choice other than to say "I don't want to talk to you." Because that is the truth. I didn't choose silence. I didn't make up an excuse. I simply said, "I don't want to talk to you."

It sucked.

I surrendered all control over what that person thinks of me now. I could go the rest of my life without ever knowing that this person who was once so important to me became something amazing.

And I chose to shut the door in a very permanent way.

So the joke's on me.
