today, i got a call from joshua.

he was sobbing.

he said he was a terrible boyfriend.

he said he didn't deserve me.

he said he hated himself.

he said he kissed emily.

he didn't have the strength and courage to call me for three days after it happened, apparently.

but then he talked to his father about it, and he told him to call me.

he told me to break up with him.

i asked him why he did it.

he said he wasn't quite sure.

i asked if he loved me.

he said more than anything.

i asked if it would ever happen again.

he said never.

so i forgave him.

even though he hurt me.

i forgave him.

he sobbed into the phone while i stared at the floor.

he told me to talk to him.

i told him i had to go.
