We crashed into each other like the moth and the flame.
For years, we've been best friends.
I told him all my secrets and I believed I knew his.
In camp, I thought he was the most beautiful boy in the world.
In high-school, I promised him my virginity.
On our first day of college, I had three revelations:
He's a jerk.
He doesn't care.
I don't even know him.

Do you love me do you want to be my friend / And if you do / Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand / If you want to / I think this is how love goes / Check yes or no

Oscar and Delia's story reminded me of this song. It's sweet yet uncertain, from beginning to almost the end. Their friendship began at summer camp and continued on in letters after they parted ways. As the years went on, their communications became less and less until they just stopped. No reason. No explanation. It was...mind-boggling.
Just like Oscar's feigned ignorance of who she is when meet again in college years later.
The bulk of their relationship happens in the present, and there is a lot of teetering back and forth because of their fallout. Hot and cold. Do I? Don't I? Do you? Don't you? Miscommunication led them to this point and now they have to figure out how to heal and forgive and understand or the desire they feel for one another will fizzle away into nothing, this time leaving them longing for what could have been.
Truly Yours is a heartwarming blend of past and present, of letters and memories that serve two purposes: reminders of what was, and gentle nudges toward what could be.
