I found a new Chinese/Sushi place near work so I went there for lunch today. And while I was waiting for my food I happened to check my messages and was surprised to see I had a text message waiting for me. After reading it I began crying in my sushi.

"I do miss you, [Poesie]..." it said.

And it was from you, Jeb. We haven't had any contact in the last 3 weeks - no phone calls, no email, no face to face - and suddenly I'm crying in my sushi because you miss me.

What does it all mean, I wonder, immediately telling myself not to get my hopes up, yet also telling myself, "But he misses you!"

I'm at a loss here, Jeb. Help me out.

that was then - this is now
