Sorry I am really not that comfortable posting the actual conversation for many reasons.
The texts really were generic - hey and how is your weather, hey back it is cold and how are you and the reply that even too cold to swim at our old spot and his work schedule was forcing him to get up early.
The truth is I think text is too hard to gauge. After not hearing from someone in a long time I would not have expected anything but a generic text. Truth is I also do not want to get back into the habit of trying to analyze his words. Been there done that and wore out the T-shirt.
But new perspectives are always welcome! Sometimes it is easy to miss things when you are neck deep.
