Maybe if you have been a little more perceptive to notice that I am indeed acting differently, and maybe if you were a bit more curious to make a follow through, and maybe a little more sensitive to your response when I told you that I was highly annoyed (because that is what we do - we promised each other that) then you'd know that I am still hurting.
If only I didn't feel so abandoned then I would have reacted in some other way.
You said you don't want to but if you'd look back and reflect on how it all started then perhaps you'd realize that your methods not only taught me how to be more independent (which I am thankful for) but also, as a side effect, slowly pushed me away and made me feel less open to you; then you and I would not be in this battlefield, waging a war that neither of us is bound to win.
We are both stubborn, but even I know when to yield.
There are things, persons that are worth more than pride.
