He told me to go to sleep.I tried.And ten minutes later, he called back. I was worried. He sounded disgruntled, scared. I thought maybe he wanted to cut again. Maybe he was having a bad anxiety attack."I'm so happy you're still awake. I just didn't want to text this to you. I was thinking about how amazing you are. How perfect, and beautiful, and funny you are. And I thought about how badly I wanted you to be mine, and I know you're so far away but at least I can talk to you, hear your voice, see your face. Maybe I can't hold you, but that's okay because you'll visit. I was just wondering if you would go out with me?" And I have never smiled so wide. He asked me out.He finally asked me out.And I have never been happier.
