I lack courage...

I terms of relationships, i lack the courage to commit.

I want to...and then again, i dont.

I like my independent little world.

I must admit, im cowardly beginning to walk away because im stricken with fear!

I really need to find the words to express how i truly feel...and then?

There are limitations to what i will allow myself to say.

Somethings need not be shared.

Its not a question of whether i trust you or not.

I just dont think it matters, to have such details known. Have i asked you? No, because i acknowledge that its none of my business...and its probably best that i never ask you. Just because you think you would tell me, if i asked...thats not a supportive argument...i am different to you in that regard.

I dont like divulging every minute detail to you or to anyone. However open i may be. But even the most open person has his/her secrets.

Trust comes with time.

I dont just hand my trust to everyone i meet...i feel that you must earn someone's trust.

Thats not to say that ur not "earning" any of my trust...you just dont have all of it...but if we continue the way we are going, you will have it soon enough.

Please dont pressure me to give u all of me too soon.

The sooner is not always for the better...especially in this case with me.

I know myself enough to face the fact that if this is the direction u want to take, i will be walking away.

ding! says: i hope you've actually said all this to the guy, or at least told him where to read it... its good that you're revealing your feelings now, rather than keeping them to yourself, trying to deal with them on your own... at least if he does put too much pressure on you and it does end, he'll know why

you are right, trust must be earnt... keep the communication going and don't give up...
