it’s obvious, really.

but then maybe it’s just my style, to cut myself loose. and yours, to stick it out till the arguments and the fights give you more than enough reason.

your seemingly- petty irritations belie graver concerns, i know this. i also know that there are other issues afoot, not to mention self-interest.

and i also know that you know that i know that there are problems. but i won’t mention it till i’m asked, and i won’t give you my opinion until you need it. you know this. unwarranted and unsolicited analysis will only lead to conflict, and ever greater complications in an already delicate situation. i know that.

we haven’t been friends for so long just to be strangers.
