Your overburdened life strains internal conflicts, leaving little room for love. As you deal with competing concerns, feelings for me get rolled up in a complex bundle of exhausted emotions you struggle to balance. I love you, and if the only way it can be demonstrated is to withdraw from the field, I will. Just know doing so does not diminish my feelings, it only represents my willingness to sacrifice me to give you necessary peace.
Background poem for the novel, “The Dangling Conversation.” Kyle begins to concede the inevitable.
