that everything will work out.

that kim, kim will come out of this strong.

her mom caught us together.

i dont know what's going to happen, what's going to become of the relationship, much less the friendship.

i love her. i love her more than ive loved anyone else.

and i've loved a few other people.

i see a future with her. i see kids with her.

but her mom, she doesnt see this, and cant see this.

kim called me, when she got the chance. i ran to the phone, talked to her.

asked if she was okay.

her mom almost hit her.

asked if we were okay.

she said she didn't think so.

i asked if she wanted us to be okay.

she was crying. she was crying, and i couldnt do anything. not a damn thing. i couldnt hold her, because that's what got us in this trouble. i cant make her laugh, i cant tell her it'll be okay and have her believe it.

but god dammit, i want it to be okay. i want her hurt to go away. i want to hold her and kiss her and i want it to be three years in the future.

if we can make it through this, if we can do this, we'll be good.

she wants to try.
