Take me to your best friend's house
Go around this roundabout

I was waiting at the station, for the train to come in. Any minute now, the train would come in. Any minute now, I would be meeting Dan for the first time in real life.

After all of the Skype calls, and Twitter chats, and YouTube comments, we were finally meeting in real life.

I watched as the train pulled in, and as the people piled out. I craned my neck, searching for Dan. After a minute of searching, I saw him- he looked lost and slightly scared. I ran over to him, all while yelling to get his attention.

"DAN! DAN DAN DAN! DAN!"

Dan turned around and saw me running towards him. "PHIL! OH MY GOD, PHIL!" He practically picked me up off the ground as he hugged me. "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ACTUALLY FUCKING MEETING YOU!"

I laughed, hugging him back. I knew then that we were definitely going to be best friends. Forever.

We got a taxi, and we went back my house, and I gave him a small tour of my home town through the window of the taxi.

Dan stayed for a couple days, during which we just hung out, getting to know each other in a different way, because people in real life are different than online. Then it was time for Dan to return home.

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

I took Dan back to the station so he could catch a train back to his home, and I was so upset. I didn't want to say goodbye to him, yet.

I didn't want to say goodbye, ever. I hugged him just before he got on the train and told him, "Don't say goodbye. I don't want to say goodbye."

I pulled back and smiled at him. "See you later, Dan."

"See you later, Phil."

I watched as Dan boarded the train, and I watched as the train left, and Dan got smaller and smaller until I could no longer see him.

Take me to your best friend's house
Marmalade we're making out

Not long after that, Dan came to visit me again. This time we filmed a couple of videos, including the first ever Phil Is Not On Fire.

We loved being together, and I loved everything about Dan. I loved his brown eyes. His laugh. I loved the voice that he called a "Winnie the Pooh- I mean posh" voice.

At the end of our Phil Is Not On Fire, I summoned 30 seconds of courage. I tackled him when we were done filming.

Dan laughed and looked at me with his gorgeous eyes. "Phil, what're you doing?"

I just pressed my lips to his, and, to my surprise, he kissed me back.

I felt like I was floating.

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

The next day, Dan had to leave again. And once again, I told him not to say goodbye.

"See you later, Dan."

"See you later, Phil."

Dan came and visited me a couple of times after that, each time we never said goodbye, because neither of us could bare it.

Finally, we decided to move in together. We bought a flat in Manchester, and we spent an entire weekend moving everything in.

Don't leave me tongue tied
Let's stay up all night
I'll get real high
Slumber party; pillow fight
My eyes on your eyes
Like Peter Pan up in the sky
My best friend's house tonight
Let's bump the beats till beddy-bye

The night when we officially moved in after all of our stuff was in, we stayed up the entire night together. We talked, and laughed, and watched movies.

We were exhausted, the kind of tired where we were laughing at everything, acting ridiculous. We were sitting on the sofa when Dan grabbed one of the throw pillows and whacked me with it.

"Pillow fight!" He yelled, hitting me again.

I laughed and grabbed another pillow. "You're going down, Danny boy!"

We acted like little kids, laughing and squealing, and running around the flat. Finally we both flopped down on the floor, breathing heavily from chasing each other around. I turned my head to look at Dan, and saw that he was looking at me, his brown eyes on my blue eyes.

He smiled, and pulled me closer to him. We feel asleep on the floor; my head on his chest, his arm around me.

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

Usually whenever we went on trips, we went together, but I was being sent on a European meet up adventure, and Dan wasn't allowed to come along.

We were at the airport, and I was hugging him, just in front of security, where I would have to go in alone.

"See you later, Dan."

"See you later, Phil."

Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

We moved to London soon after that, after we got offered a show at BBC Radio 1. We loved our new flat, and the city.

Things picked up for us.

Our subscriber counts soared.

Our radio show was a success.

We even got to have cameo rolls in a Disney movie!

We even wrote a book, but part way through the book, we decided that we should go to Japan. Because, why the hell not?

Before we went, I went and I bought a ring. I wanted to propose to Dan, because I knew that I couldn't live without him.

Not long after we decided to go to Japan, we got on a plane, and were on our way.

It was beautiful there. We spent so much money on anime merchandise, and Pokemon stuff we didn't need but absolutely wanted.

On one of our days in Japan, we went to go see cherry blossom trees, which were in bloom. It was there that I decided to propose.

Dan was laughing and taking pictures with the cherry blossoms, when I went up to him. "Dan."

Dan turned around to ask what I needed, and I was down on one knee. "Dan, I love you. So much. I've always loved you. I loved you when we first met, and I love you now. Will you marry me?"

Dan was able to choke out the word, "Yes," through his tears, and hugged me. The people there clapped.

My fiance.

My best friend.

Forever.

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't...

I held Dan's hand, as he sat in the hospital bed. I looked around the room, trying not to cry. We had only been married for a year when the cancer attacked my beautiful Dan's body.

It was aggressive, and no treatment could cure it.

And now, a year and a half later, this was it.

Dan turned his head to look at me, and I was still mesmerized by his eyes, as weak and dull as they were.

"Don't say goodbye, Dan." I whispered through my tears. "I don't ever want to say goodbye."

Dan gave a weak smile. "Then see you later, Phil."

"See you later, Dan."
