More than Words

'Actually, I'm going to California next year for 8 months.'

We were nothing then. I did not mind at all.

A few weeks later,

'Baby, I got the letter from Berkeley!'

My heart dropped. 8 months without you would be pure torture. I was already counting down the days when you'd be gone and I wish everyday and the times spent with you would last longer. I wish I could hold you closer, show you how much I appreciate having you here.

'Baby, I might be postponing my trip.'

This time, my heart jumped. It soared. I was trying hard to control my excitement. Till now, it still has not hit me that you are really not going (till next year, that is). I might not have shown it enough but I am over the moon. Too happy till I got a huge ass migraine just now. Too happy till I carelessly disregard your presence for awhile there. You're so precious, boyfriend. More than you'll ever know. :)
