and maybe I'm just reading into it
I probably am16:24pm:

I mean, it isn't long16:24pm:

she is worried she did something wrong
18:19pm:
oh18:19pm:

new years18:19pm:

18:19pm:
kind of18:19pm:
if you could enlighten me that'd be swell18:24pm:
she told me she loved me18:24pm:
amy said that?
she told you she loves you?18:25pm:
I mean
She was drunk
I assumed she didn't mean it
but no one has told me that before18:25pm:
ashton
she has never told anyone that
not even Liam, she thought she loved him but never said so
and trust me drunk amy is the most honest person you could meet
if she told you that, then she means it18:25pm:
I didn't know how to take it
its not what you expect to hear18:26pm:
but how do you feel about her?
you don't feel the same right? hence why you've been distant.18:26pm:
the opposite
I think, I think I love her.18:27pm:
you love her
are you saying you love amy?18:27pm:
yes
yes
I love her
I love her laugh when she does something clumsy
I love when she tucks her red locks behind her hair but they're too short to stay in place
when she talks about her art work with such passion
how she has been through hell and back but keeps that smile constantly
that she never sleeps but has more energy than my sister does sometimes
she cares for anyone and everyone without a second thought
I love her compassion
I love her for who she is, regardless of how she thinks of herself
I love her, Flora.18:29pm:
Well
I said it
it is out there18:29pm:
wow
just, Ashton.
I've never heard anyone be so sincere about anyone.
Please tell her this, tell her this tomorrow.she needs to hear it.
the compassion and energy you love is fading fast.
18:29pm:
thank you FloraI will speak to her later, before it gets too late for her.
