Our first month together must now unfortunately be celebrated by a month away from each other. A bittersweet parting. It's easy to get caught up and forget we have exams and prioritising is difficult but necessary for both of us. It's already so hard to imagine my life without you so this next month is going to be very challenging. I find it strange that we've only been together a month, surely it's been much longer? Some of the things we talk about you would've thought we'd been together for almost a year. But it's only a month. Do I sound stupid? Do I sound caught up, or as if I'm getting carried away? I probably do. But I know I'm not, it just feels right.
I found it quite funny when I made eye contact with a lady who watching watching us on the tube. You were looking at me, I was looking at you, and she was looking at us. She had a curious expression on her face; she was intrigued or maybe she was looking at the simplicity and naivety of young love. A part of me hopes she was looking at us wishing she was in love like this too. I don't know. But it sure was awkward for her when I caught her looking. I'm scared this month will make us drift apart or cause problems due to neglecting one another. I don't know what I'm going to do. Four weeks is a very long time... I struggle seeing you once a week. I guess I'll see you again when it's our two month now...
