After a long day of texting back and forth, my day ended with King (that's what I call him) calling me somewhat distraught because of my slow response to his attempts at communication. I admit that I was inconsiderate and that I could have been more considerate and understanding because I don't appreciate being left hanging when I have someone that is important to speak to in my life. However, this was a day that we had a short conversation AND he spent a large deal of it, explaining to me how he felt, though I admitted that I understood, I was at fault and I am sorry.
In retrospect, my King has told me that he can push an issue to make sure that he is understood, and that is exactly what happened. Our 20 minute phone conversation was 10 minutes of him making sure that I understood that he felt unappreciated and undervalued because I did not respond to him. He did tell me that this is a flaw, and now I know first hand that he sure can push an issue. Though, he is still not as bad as I have experienced. Though, he over reacted and I told him that he is going to get that under control.
I had to express this somehow. I am totally unbelievably, stupidly in love with this man. Stupidly!! That conversation was unbelievable, except when I thought about how pressing that shit was, and then it dawned on me, he was pressing an issue that was important to him, and he needed me to understand that I was important and acted as though he was not important.
I completely disregarded my King's feelings. I behaved insensitively. However, in his expression of my actions as pressing as he did, I did not realize until later that he was pressing the issue. So, as horribly annoyed as I am by the fact that our conversation was cut short and he spent the majority of it telling me that I was not considerate of how he felt, he expressed in his own flawed manner that he felt taken for granted. A position that I have been in many many many times. I have a man that has allowed me to nurture a rose, beautiful, soft, petals of velvet, color vibrant, touch sweet and vulnerable. I will cherish that forever.
