I'M HALFWAY GONE


"If neither of us are married when we're 28," you said, "Marry me." I said I would.

That was years and years ago, and what I didn't know was that you meant you loved me.

And now? You're halfway across the world, and I'm halfway gone, head over heels for you.

We've done this dance for so long-- You step forward, I step back. Missed you by a day.

And the truth is? I'm terrified of you, for I know good and well I could never walk away from you, and what if you stopped loving me?

When I last talked to you-- when I told you I missed you, what I meant was: I love you too.
