Poems, Mutual Acquaintances, and Chinese

It was kinda weird to hear from her. It had been two weeks since I had last talked to her and that was a first. I hadn't gone more than 5 days without talking to her since last June. I didn't want to sound too excited because it seemed that it would be counter to what I had told her the last time we talked. Our brief conversation turned to us, no surprise, and it was interesting. Indecisive, she said that I was, and that was something she couldn't deal with right now. She needed someone who was sure of what they wanted and would be a pillar. I thought about this for a second and realized she may be right. Though she may have just been talking about us I thought to myself that it seemed to extend beyond that and, I admit, I didn't like that. I also believe there was a second effect to what she said. Her comment gave me a resolve, which was shaky, to stick with my decision. It was probably the opposite thing she was trying to accomplish or for which she wanted. But she had to go do something and like the last conversation, it ended with things unsaid. I told her I needed more time....and space.......which she said would be fine, so we said goodbye and I went on to fail a midterm.
