" As a man, I used to sometimes do things
that seemed counter productive to my
relationship’s growth. I would pull away; I created
problems where there were none and I would argue
over small things that really meant nothing to me.
I guess you could say that you and I were somewhat the
same. In the end, the closer we got,
the more afraid we became.
I never understood until I began to actually listen to
you. That’s when I realized…
I was just as afraid of being hurt as you were. "
