This whole post is going to be what I would tell him if I could. Except it would be really mean, so I am going to write it here instead.
This man drives me crazy. I need to let go of him and move on. seriously. But, a part of me can't, because my mind roams back to the summer nights of long conversations over coffee. I miss those times. I miss the genuineness. I want those times back. And, he won't give them to me. He pushes me aside while he deals with the rest of his life. I am not longer someone important in his life. I am just a person. and that stings. a lot.
So, he's my brother in Christ. I am called to love him and serve him as Christ does. But I can tell you right now that he's not worth it. Not worth the pain. Not worth my time. Not worth the energy or anxiety.
And that's that.
Just remember that the struggle of loving him IS worth the pain and time and energy - no matter how unreturned it is. Love is a hard thing to be sometimes, but we aren't left unequipped in the struggle, we have the very Man named Love to aid us.
