What did your last message mean? You called yourself an idiot, apologized, said you missed me— But was it real, or just the exact thing I needed to hear?

I remember, for your birthday, I didn’t even have a broken dime. Unemployed, I spent my entire savings…I had enough to buy candles, but not for a cake.

There you go, little one! It's all over! The time of loneliness and sadness is over. All those little wounds that stung like a tomato on a cut are now closed, aren't they?
