February 5th, 1981
After being away, with no contact or friendship, I am still left wondering if she thinks about me. Does she realize how wrapped around her, I am? Does she even care that my heart is still tethered to her?
I haven't tried to reach her. I won't as long as she is distant. She deserves to be happy. If I can't give her that, I will back away and let her find it for herself.
The only thing I know for certain is that she makes me feel things I've never felt before. I wish she loved me the way I love her. If only she could see how my heart bleeds for her when she is gone. Alas, that is not her problem.
I will be reapplying to school and taking up my old position at Byberry. I don't have to work, however, I miss the interaction. It made me feel more human. Dropping everything on a whim for some woman is not like me. I should have known better than to trust my heart.
I would still give her a position at my practice if she asked. I would never turn her away. I'll know to be more careful next time. She won't intoxicate me with her seductive powers again. This time I'll be aware and ready when she does pop up again, if she does.
