Dear Oil,
I really wish we could be more than friends right now. But, because of the distance between us and additionally the language barrier, it is not realistic. I've tried a long-distance relationship in the past and it didn't go well. It was too difficult for both people. It's also not fulfilling enough. I care for you just as much as I always have. I definitely want you in my life. I still think there's a good chance we could make it work between us in the coming months. We could still have a family together when the time is right. But, for now let's just be friends and see where things go in the future. In the meantime, I can figure out how I can come back to be with you in Thailand and you can learn English.
Are you ok just being good friends for now? Hopefully, we we will be in a position to be more than friends in a few months.
Love,
Gabriel
