You don't Get To

6.27.2008

When you stop talking to me, and return my house key in the mail with NO message or word as to WHY you've chosen to do so, and when you haven't tried to talk to me or explain your actions since that time 8 months ago... YOU DON'T GET TO walk up to me and decide it's OK to talk to me again. YOU DON'T GET TO pretend that you couldn't have

mailed me a letter and tried to talk that way
EMAILED me
called me
come to the house where you know I live

YOU DON'T GET TO say this is the "first chance you've had to talk to me"
Go blow your smoke somewhere else. Until you are ready to own up to the fact that what you did to me WAS WRONG,
I don't know you.
I don't WANT to know you.
If you REALLY wanted to talk to me and make things right, you have had MANY chances to do it. If you REALLY wanted anything OTHER than to save face in public, we would have talked BEFORE you decided to STOP talking to me. YOU chose to stop. YOU DON'T GET TO choose when you can start talking to me again. I can tell you right now, it's NOT at church. I can tell you right now it's NOT where I feel like you are just want to look like YOU did YOUR duty. I can tell right now, that YOU DON'T GET TO pretend like nothing ever happened. If you want me to be civil to you in public, pretend you don't know me. I'll do the same. I DECIDED that that's just about all I can handle. YOU don't get to decide. When you REALLY want to talk? When you REALLY want to talk to ME? When you are READY to say you're SORRY? You know were to find me. You know my number. Maybe THEN. I'll decide that my heart can handle you. Until then, YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE.
You HEAR ME?!?

Rachel....I'm sorry that this whole sordid affair with your "friend" is still going on.... It is very hard to lose a friend and then to have them pop back in and pretend that nothing happened...I will keep you in my prayers.

even then, i wouldn't want to talk to her. sometimes you can't undo what you've done. and you'd never be able to trust her again.
