I can't believe I said the things I said to Theo.
They're all true, of course, but I hardly think it was prudent. Or appropriate.
But it feels great, anyway. To love and, maybe, to be loved back. Or at least desired and liked. I could learn to like it, very much.
I already have, really.
I'm looking forward to seeing Theo again soon. Outside of class.
He may tell me he was just being rash, that he's thought it over and decided this isn't what he wants.
If that happens, it will be ok.
Even a few hours of feeling like this, and knowing it's returned, at least for now, is worth almost anything.
I really believe that it's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. I don't remember who said that, but it's true, I know it.
I've loved.
And I've been loved. Am loved, right now.
That's enough.
