Die Another Day

Work has been preoccupying the majority of McDreamy's days. I had quickly become accustomed to our daily chats and emails, but in the last couple weeks it has all but ceased. We still talk at least once a day, but it's not like it once was. The conversations while friendly and entertaining are tiptoeing around the central issue.
I don't want to say it's over, but I have to come to terms with the fact that maybe the distance doesn't make the heart grow fonder, but rather makes it convenient to forget. I came across a blog yesterday written by a friend of The Man's, www.highwaytoahusband.com. While reading a few entries, I came across a line that stood out, "I have also been told (by plenty of men, no less) that when a man is seriously interested in a woman, not time, nor distance, nor the highest obstacle will deter him from making her his." No frills, just the brutal truth and after re reading the sentence a few times I sat back and thought about all the grand gestures McDreamy had made for me and all the sweet words he once spoke. Had I been over thinking this brief lack of communication or was there something more to it? Had he lost interest in me? Was I just another conquest?
I am more aware of little changes in people now. Whether or not they have meaning, I question their motives and myself more intensely. For my own personal well being, I must step back and not allow myself to get swept into the fantasy. After all dreams only come true on the silver screen.
