1. I am never always available, and I never will be. If 8 hours is the longest one doesn't hear from me, you're the lucky one. Most people suffer days, weeks.
2. This comes down to nature. Sometimes I just need to be unreachable.
3. This has nothing to do with mourning.
4. Right now, most everything else does. But I'm doing this my way, which is almost certainly not the right way, let alone the easy way.
5. On Tuesday night I was able to sleep less than six hours. On Wednesday, less than four. Last night, in spite of consuming half a bottle of whiskey, I slept just over an hour.
6. A lot of things are responsible for this. She's most of them.
7. I always know what I should do. The fact that I seldom do is...complicated. Painful.
8. On this, I can't be there for her.
9. I can't even be there for myself. Not right now.
10. No, I don't need anyone. For anything.
11. I hate this.
12. But it's true. That's me. The wolf.
13. In consequence, I hate being needed.
14. For one thing, that's entirely the wrong word. "Need." We need so little, really. Love is about wanting (wanting with every breath, every cell, thought, every ounce of your soul, yes, but it's not necessary).
15. It's that love is unnecessary that makes it so special.
16. The problem, in the end, isn't definition. It's that I'm not sure if I want her.
17. Relationships fail; why? Because the nature of a relationship is that of an attempt to forge two lives into one. This is exceedingly difficult. If it works, it's a miracle.
18. Even if it only works for a short while.
19. So the question is, does this work? Or even, am I fundamentally better with my life intertwined with hers.
20. Yes.*
21. But I can't stop wondering about it. Fearing it.
22. And yes, I forgot this morning to point out the most important thing, the thing that makes any of this worth asking: I love her, far fucking more than I'd ever believed I could love someone.
23. This is why I can't give up.
