A moment please?

This let down is getting to me.

And there is nothing I can do about it, I need to take action.

But I can’t.

You’ve got me blocked, and on read. That does not feel good.

Normally I would try harder. Fight harder.

But I can’t.

I’m too tired of trying too hard for you. You don’t see it. But I can feel it.

I can feel every once of pressure building.

I'm afraid to say more, in fear of where that will take us. I can feel my body tensing up just writing this for you.

You didn’t ask me too. I just needed to try and explain.

Give me some time. Please.

I’ll take whatever you can give me. I never thought I’d see myself beg.

But here we are.

Please just a moment of time to speak ?
