It was 3:18am. I heard my phone go off and it only took a second for me to realize who was calling.

I haven't met anyone as simple as him and it's so hard to find people like him. He cares and shows it in his own ways, he's so scared to let people down that he tries to push expectations away. When he called me last night, I realized that he still needed me. I've always wanted to be there for him but he's tried pushing me away; I stuck on. I couldn't let him go and I couldn't stop caring about him. Last night made me realize that he cares about me and needs me as much as I need him. He wasn't getting sleep and asked if I was sleeping. Ofcourse I was asleep but as soon as I had seen his name flashing across my cellphone screen, sleep had evaded me.

I told him I could talk.

We spoke about movies to edible underwear; the sky had still been dark when he called and as we spoke, it turned a beautiful shade of cobalt. As I spoke to him, I realized the mistakes I had made in these months, how I had misunderstood so many things. I wanted to be there for him, love him, hold him and never let him go. I was sad about all the time that had gone by but now I want to make the most of what we have together.

I had spent so much time trying to figure out how to make things alright that I forgot to let things be and mend on their own.
