The conversation I want to have...

Juan and I are just going to be friends now. I'm adjusting to this.

I want to talk to him. I want to say: "Hey, Juan. I wonder if I can ask something of you. I would like to know about your relationship with your ex. I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk to me about it. Would you?"

I want to understand because I feel it may shed some light on why our romantic relationship came to an arrupt end... and I have a belief that it would help him to heal to share with me.

But, knowing myself and knowing the state he is in, those are words that will be left to this page. I will offer an ear, but will never prod a man over a river he isn't ready to cross.
