Understand

Are you out there? Waiting for me? I hope not. I’m so sorry, but this is all to much. Too much stress, to much work, I feel like I’m gonna explode.

I don’t want to ruin this. This thing we could have. I’m afraid that if I come down the squeaky stairs, and out to the world, we’ll never survive.

I’m gonna take a break. Please, say you understand. I need this. I don’t know how long it will be, but I know I’ll be back.

So please don’t wait for me. I’m not coming out, at least not now.

And please say, you won’t back out. Please say, you understand.
