To my dearest friend

My dearest friend, and my truest one (instead of saying the only true one):

I'll keep this simple. I don't have other ways of contacting you from here, and this gets the message across easily.

I'm coming home in a week. I'm staying for three.

Do you want to hang out?

I don't know if asking for that is the right thing. But since I'll be around, and won't be for quite a long time after those three weeks are up, it didn't feel right not to ask.

No justifications, no tearful soliloquys or explanations. I just need a yes/no answer, or maybe no answer at all, who knows, if you don't see this in time, or see it and decide to ignore it.

So, my dearest friend, I'll go now, and time will tell things, as it always does.

Love,

P.
