Today's "Daily Romance" horoscope:
You're so bright you'll hurt people's eyes, but that's not your problem, is it? They'll be drawn to you like bugs to a zapper anyway, so it's no use warning them.
He just called me on his lunch break:
Him: I miss you.
Me: [fluttery] *whimper* (sheepishly), I miss you, too.
Him: See, it's not hard to admit it, is it?
Me: Yes, it is.
Him: This distance between us is killing me. I hate it.
Me: Well, it's probably best.
Him: Why?
Me: Because it forces us to slow things down.
Him: Yeah. But the thing is, I wouldn't mind seeing you exclusively.
Me: [recovering from heart failure--deep, deep breath, Sassy.] I...
His end of the phone: gr--^2rdg ast3 ho4nnc :IU grl4
Me: Jesus, that hurt my ear, what the hell was that??
Him: Sorry, machines here at work. (chuckles)
Me: Listen, I don't know how to respond to that--it's not that I don't WANT to see you exclusively, it's just that, well... I made myself a promise to do it that way to protect myself from getting hurt. I'm not sure what to say because the truth is I feel it, whatever it is, and I WANT to be with you. But this is WAY faster than I could have anticipated. I don't want it to go too fast and burn out of control. I'm a very emotional person--if I fall in love, I'll be staying there for a very long time.
Him: Me, too.
Me: [fluttery again, dammit] Give me some time to think about it. I don't want to make a promise in the heat of the moment. I need to make sure I can make this decision on purpose, and for the right reasons, OK?
Him: I completely understand. I can respect that.
Me: You understand why I'd be gun-shy, don't you?
Him: Yes, I understand, in your situation-- but not all men are like him, Sassy. I want to show you that.
Me: I hope you're right. I hope you can. Just... well--I need time to feel safe.
Him: I understand. I'm not in a hurry.
[silence]
Him: I miss you.
Me: [chuckle] I know, I do too.
Him: It's like I'm a little schoolboy again--weird.
Me: [laughing] It IS weird, isn't it? What the hell are you doing to me?
Him: Not nearly as much as I'd like to, trust me.
