We are nowhere. This is the usual place. 26 of my fifty fucking years and we are nowhere. This is a sign. You and i can do this forever or I can move on. Like I have before. The problem is I need to start sticking to it rather than being a disposable option in both of your lives. You control that not me. My life doesnt change being with you. I'd simply move sideways and lose some of the things that make me whole on my own. I don't need a partner for validation. I never have. Thats not why I've been trying these years. Thats never going to be part of my make up. I don't know the next step. But I know despite my feelings and everything I want in my life, two toxic people always fighting are a bad situtation living together for ny child. We always seem to be more civil when there is space. Sadly emotions dominate that and we always end up at odds. Maybe its time for me to take a step back and just wait on you to be whatever. Maybe I can just live the rest of my life doing...
