Anticipation

She agreed to go out with me. Finally after three years of coaxing and cajoling, she agreed.

But now the question is whether she will be there or not. Whether she will stand me up, or not. Whether she was lying or not.

It's not that I don't have faith in her, I do. It's just that after so many years of being rejected by her, I can't help but feel insufficient for her. I feel she needs something, someone better than I.

But now she has agreed to go out with me, so I will push away my insecurities. Tonight I will not go to bed a nervous wreck. Instead I will sleep calmly, smiling in anticipation of tomorrow's date. Anticipation will see me through the night. I am sure of it.
