I Said Everything

Standing in sunlight and grey asphalt I finally said everything I'd been meaning to say for a year and a half, and the conflicts I've meant to say for two weeks. Friendship was neglected for personal interest, and the distance was noted by both of us. I look forward to the response, even though the answers were everything I wanted to hear and the silence wasn't terrible. The reassurance was an air of realistic acceptance, so the doubt and sadness in my voice were about as matched, and about as final.
