Morning Clarity

Last night I was so stunned it took me a long while to process that fateful phone call. A week long relationship, however, does not merit a long mourning period. I cried hard for about 5 minutes, mostly due to my frustration with the concept rather than the specific situation with Jon. This morning, now that I have slept a full night, I have this for him (which he will never be told).

Jon-
You will keep yourself from getting to know many extraordinary people by trying to risk manage your relationships. There was obviously a connection with us that was present from the start, and that you have pushed away in the name of possibly wanting to live outside of Chicago in the future. You are going to be in this city for 2 more years in order to complete your education, and many other situations could have divided us naturally in that time. To end what has only begun will only cheat you from the experiences that you treasure down the road. We could have had a great run, and broken up down the road, but maintained a friendship. Instead you have cut us off at the foot, and we cannot have any semblance of a future. I hope that is exactly what you wanted, because that is definitely what you got.
