Hey T.. I read it all too and it bought tears to my eyes to be honest.

You are so lucky. Do you know how lucky you are? C'mon girl, your glass is half full. Do you know how many men I have loved in my life (hey I'm nearly 38 ! ) and lost.. how many STOPPED talking to me, since I was like, 15... or ones that I decided to never return their call ever again...

And yet you talked to him for like, an hour??? And like Essie said, not just a hi, how are you doing, but really deep stuff. You are amazingly lukcy that after you two had a 5 year R and broke up... you are now chatting on the phone and like you said, nearly twice in one week!

I think the most significant thing was.. "Before we got off the phone he said, "call me."

You seem discouraged, but I am seeing a guy who is VERY committed to his music, to developing his career, who takes it all very seriously, whose working hard to establish himself and yet is making time for you nowadays, like when he said...
"He said that next week would be good since he'd be in Maine but would have a lot of free time."

Also... this bit was a bit groundbreaking I thought..

"Then there was sort of an awkward pause and he asked if there was something else I wanted to tell him. I sort of laughed (nervously) and said I thought it was funny he could tell I had something left to say. I asked him if he would have time to meet me for a hot chocolate or something when he was in NYC in early January. He said yes, but he couldn't do that much outside of rehearsals with his string quartet."

So again.. IS he keeping you at arms length, or is he just really focused rigt now on his music/career? I cant tell. BUT, at least he said for you to call him NEXT week (so thats pretty regular contact with someone you broke up with a yaer ago, I have best mates I dont speak to like every week).. and he said he DID want to meet you in January.

Dont be discouraged!!! Be grateful! Be glad! Dance around the room !!!
