I'm tired of this. Please put a stop to it. Please know that my silence doesn't mean my surrender. Please know that it won't stay that way forever. Please understand that I'm trying to understand you. Please don't let it get to the point where I won't give a damn anymore about how you might feel, how you might be affected by my words and my actions.
This isn't a challenge. This is me begging you to just please, at least remember, I know what it's like to feel hurt, too.
