Nothing but the truth.

Things got better. I didn't think they would. But they did. One day he called me, and told me about how he broke up with his girlfriend. The next few days were absolutely glorious. We were better friends than ever, and he was all I ever thought about. We were constantly talking, laughing and smiling. And one night... I told him exactly how I felt. I sent him this really long text, and here's what it said.

"Okay so I've been wanting to tell you this forever. So we say that we love eachother all the time, right? Well... there's something I never tell anyone because I shut out anyone who could possibly care about me. But for the past 4 months... I've been watching you fall in love with other girls and its been slowly killing me. Even if she was my best friend,  I was so jealous. But I gave you advice and tried to help because I care about you more than I care about myself.  And I'm not selfish, if you love someone you respect their rights to love who they want. But watching you get hurt and lost hurts.  And I feel the same way you do. Lost. Hurt. Alone.  I don't even know who I am... but when I'm with you... its a little easier to remember who I am. Maybe you don't feel the same way. Maybe 4 months isn't long to know someone. But I don't care. I need to tell you, I'm in love with you. I know you probably don't feel the same way. But I've always known I loved you. From the first time I saw you. I remember it like it was yesterday. "

And to that he answered,

"I.... huh.... I don't quite know how to respond to that."

That night, we stayed up on the phone, video chatting until midnight. We talked about nothing and everything. I was so in love. And you know what? He asked me to be his girlfriend. The happiness I felt in that moment has never been topped by anything else. We were so in love.
