Past

You'd think after only 17 years on earth no one would have enough past to "live in."

You'd think that after being with someone for almost 8 months of those 17 years one would be able to accept what happened before you met.

You'd think that no one would tell someone the last thing they want to hear while they are 3000 miles away.

Well, I guess the last one makes sense.

Living in the past leads to nothing positive. I've seen it trap a young girl's heart, destroy a mother daughter relationship, and even push a boy to the edge only to be rescued by his future.

I'm not going to be able to last very long if you live like this. I thought we were to the point where you had accepted my past and trusted me enough to live our lives. I need you to trust me and if you don't I need you to tell me how I can make you trust me otherwise I don't want to be in a relationship.

I love you. I'm not going to stop loving you any time soon, but I can't be with you if you don't trust me. If it would make you more comfortable to change the way our relationship is, that's fine, but I will not be your girlfriend if you don't trust me. That's just the way it works.

I love you. But you have until the 9 month mark do decide whether or not you trust me, or to explain to me what needs to be done so you can.
