How hard do I try?

Once again I am in love. Once again I am Plagued by the question "How hard do I try?" At least this time it's not all in my imagination. But what is keeping him from texting me and is it a sign? I know what it is at least partly. He's told me. It's fear really. And I can understand that. But can I help him conquer his fears? I don't think so. But I can at least show him I care. But how much how often. Because I care a lot and I don't want to overwhelm him but I also don't want to let him bow out or disappear it would be easier if he lived near. But my confidence and boldness seem to work better from a distance. Perhaps we are both giving fear too much to say. Perhaps I'll give it another day. I'll give it another day. I can wait for another day. Feel better my love today.
