a wishlist:

i just want you to try. i want you to try for us because we have a good foundation and because we've been through so much together already.

i want you to try because i believe in us and i believe that we could have a better future.

i want you to try because i realize that i was at fault for a good bit of this, and because i'm willing to make the necessary changes for our relationship.

i want you to try because i gave you the space you needed and wanted. i went through a hell of a week - most of it productive and good for me - so that we could figure things out.

i want you to try because i've been what you wanted for the past four years, and i don't understand how that can change in an instant.

i want you to try because i want you. i want us. i want our life, our dogs, our tiny house. i want all of it.
