I met her last spring. At the time it was something more casual. We were trying to be friends and a little extra. And we did that. It was good. The happiest I’d been in a long time. It was a time and a place where i could let go. I could take off the mask with her. But then life went on. She went away. I went back to my life and struggles. She went to hers. But we stayed in contact. We kept talking. And we grew. Now her time away is coming to a close. We’re looking towards coming back together as something more than we were. I never thought that I get a chance like she offers again. She changed that. I can’t be more grateful. There are still issues to work out. But we both feel like we can. 21 weeks and counting.
