dear friend
maybe it's getting too hard
too frustrating
too difficult to work out.
i can't give you what you expect from me.
and i can't keep trying to no avail.
there's only so much one person can do.
i know you're not perfect.
you have to know i'm not, either.
i don't want you to get hurt, because i've been there, i've felt it.
it's like a million needles sticking into your heart at the same time, all the time.
don't play with fire.
we can't just pray that everything will work out; it doesn't work that way.
it's getting tiring.

but i miss you.
