You know I really hate that I always put myself out there,

like this, to you,

but you like it,

even though it makes me feel

pathetic and weak.

I finally got to hear your voice again,

last night over the phone.

It’s been too long since I had,

and I was feeling

so sad and alone.

Just hearing you say that you love me

means the world to me,

don’t you know this is true?

At least this time I didn’t get my hopes up about seeing you, in person, today.

Those words were too good to be true.

Yes, I am learning you.

Not long ago, in a message,

your words, exactly, were,

“just be you for me. I love that.”

I know you love me.

Really, I know you really do.

It’s just that sometimes

I need you to show me.

Seriously, can you do that for me?

Please, I ask you.

I want to be in your arms,

and I want you in mine,

so we can make everything all better for each other,

even if it’s just for one night.

Then, if it’s a must,

we can both go our separate ways

until it’s time for us to come home

to one another again.
