It's Christmas time, but the one person I want most ca n't be there. She only lives a few minutes away, but the distance is n't the issue. I have loved her for so long. This year we tried. We failed. 
 
 I failed. 
 
 She wants me to stop trying, I do n't want to. But it brings us both pain when I try. She says she does n't want to lose me entirely. I ca n't lose her either. So I'll stop trying. I'll give her the space she needs... The space we both need. I already lost my girlfriend. 
 
 I ca n't lose my best friend, too. 
 
 Not again.
