Mind didn't write it on a piece of paper but she text me promising she will be back .. the silly thing is the logical sort of me knows she will but the irrational part of me panics and I think she has abandoned me. It's only a week since I last saw her and it's another 8 weeks until I see her again and I've already struggled .. but she rang me tonight which was lovely and made me feel less anxious .. she has promised she will check in with me at least once a week
