I did it. This is what I e-mailed back:
I’ll be honest: I am quiet because I don’t like missing you so much. I was just getting used to not seeing you any more, then you came to visit, and now it’s like before. So, the less contact we have, the easier it is for me to get used to you not being around. It sounds silly, I know. You’d think, I’d have gotten over that by now.
So, now we wait for his reply, IF he replies. I feel better, small step, but hopefully a meaningful one.
Yay for me!
