Two Roads Diverged...

And I can't decide between the two. One is the path of non-acceptance, where I tell him that this is not an acceptable decision and that I won't let him go. I want to take this path but I don't want to force myself on him and cause bad feelings down the road. The other is the path where I let him go, and right now my head and my heart say that this isn't acceptable either. This causes such a conflict that I feel hollow when I think about it. The tears won't hardly fall anymore I have become so numb because of this conflict inside myself. So, I think I am going to try to walk this middle ground until it gets to the point that I can't possibly take it anymore. He knows how I feel that I still care and want him back, at least right now, but that I also know I can't force him and I know he needs time to work on himself and figure things out. I am trying to take the friend route but I already don't like the friend zone. But, at least in the friend zone I know I have footing and support. This blows, but at least I'm not a 'Wreaking Ball', and they say "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were."
