"i'm sorry if anything feels awkward between us now it's just-"

"it's not awkward"

"why?"

"here, let me show you this song i wrote. it's called 'always'"

(Play the song!)

When the world gets too heavy
Put it on my back
I will be your levy
You are taking me apart
Like bad glue
On a get well card

It was always you
Falling for me
Now there is always time
Calling for me
I am the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know

I am a fly that is trapped
In a web
But I am thinking that
My spider's dead
Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself
In thinking that I am fine

That I am skin and bone
Just a king and a rusty throne
Oh, the castle's under siege
But the sign outside says, "Leave me alone"

It was always you
Blink back to let me know
It was always you

"bren, this is great. is it about anyone in particular?"

"yeah, you. kinda my way of saying, 'hey i like you!'"

"wait you like me bren?"

"remember the first time we started doing 11:11 wishes?"

"yeah, it was after like a month we knew each other and i texted you, "11:11, make a wish!" and it became a tradition for us pretty much"

"that's when i knew"

"when you liked me?"

"yeah."

"bren, that's almost 3 years, how did you keep it a secret?"

"i was still figuring stuff out. i didn't know if i liked you like that yet, but i definitely had a feeling after that"

"how long did it take for you to realize you liked me?"

"the rest of sophomore year after our first month knowing each other"

"why did you keep it from me for so long?"

"i thought you only wanted to be friends"

"well clearly i don't. just a lil somethin more"

"haha, yeah?"

"yeah. oh, what was your 11:11 wish?"

"for me to kiss you"

"i think i can help you make that come true"

"oh really?"

"yeah really."
