Ex sex & hope for the future?

Lydia
Okay so bear with me here... My ex boyfriend and I just had phone sex about 30 minutes ago and I told him before we started that 1. I miss him and 2. I still love him. He said he still misses me and I think he said "I love you too" but the service was iffy. 
I used to call him daddy when we would "rock the rhombus" 😏😜💦 and I asked him if I could still call him that and he said yes. So we were doing our stuff, you know, talking dirty and masturbating and he called me baby through out the entire thing. He also called me princess and UGHHH 😩😍 it was so sexy. Anyways, I miss him terribly. 
I asked if he'd ever want to be with me again and he said maybe when he gets "out of here" (he's based at camp Lejeune and his contract ends next year) and I'm not sure if I should be excited or not. 😌 I love him dearly and he made me very happy and I know I made him happy too. So my question is... 👀 should I still have hope? 😁😁 Because my friends all tell me that they think Kevin and I are many to be together because of the way we treated each other. They said we were perfect for each other as cliche as that may sound... They even noted how I truly smiled and laughed while I was dating him, I was genuinely HAPPY and not trying to convince myself as everyone else that I was. (I have depression and medicine only helps so much) 💔
