Relief Next To Me

The title of this post references a Tegan and Sara song that I love. First line is:

I miss you now like I should've missed you then.

Tegan and Sara have been my soundtrack through this whole ordeal.

But the important word in that title is Relief.

I called, left a message. He said he'd call back. He didn't. So, I wrote him a message. And he responded. It wasn't negative, and it seemed more positive than neutral. So, I feel some relief. And I'm thankful. It could still go away. It could still be completely over. But there's a chance. And I have Hope, little ray though she may be, I have her.

And, in that, there is Relief.
