Hola mi amor
Jack I'm sitting across from you what the fuck
Oof
That's embarrassing
... isn't that what you said when you texted me the first time?
Maybe
You know we've come a long way since then
Uh yeah
You know you could say this all out loud
I remember when you kept telling me to stop texting you and I'm so glad I didn't listen
Yeah me too
Are you having a stroke
No haha
I remember all the times we texted at 4 am and how you were the first person I trusted when I learned I was bi
Seriously are you okay
I'm fine
I remember how you also told me about your parents and how you hated school
I also remember how I wasn't there for you when you moved into your new apartment after you came out
I'm still really sorry about that
I already forgave you though? Do you need me to call someone?
No
Remember our second date? I took you to a blink concert. You screamed the lyrics to all the songs they played. I think that's the moment I realized that I didn't ever want to lose you.
Aw that's sweet
But seriously you could say all of this out loud we're sitting at a table in a restaurant
People are staring
Good. Let them stare.
I remember our first kiss. We were sitting on the beach, looking up at the stars. I knew you were a space nerd and I still think it's cute.
I am not a space nerd.
You're a space nerd. It's cute.
Psh. Whatever.
I remember when I first asked you to be my boyfriend. We hadn't really planned anything special. You were bored so I took you to McDonald's and I was tired and not thinking clearly so I just asked you. You said yes and then kissed me and the lady behind the counter cheered and gave us free sodas.
She was a nice lady.
Yeah.
I also remember that not everything was a cute moment. There were times when you were drunk. That first time I was so scared for you I didn't sleep for two days.
Shit Jack I'm sorry
That was a few years ago it's fine
I'm still sorry
I know. But the other times you kept saying you didn't want me to show up but I didn't care. I wanted to be there for you. I couldn't always be there for you.
That's not your fault.
I know.
Then of course there was all the other shitty things that happened. I still wish I was there to prevent it. Most of it's solved now. I'm glad your safe.
Yeah me too.
But seriously can't you say all of this to me out loud?
No because there's a reason for me to be texting you.
And that reason is?
Alexander William Gaskarth I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
I want to keep going to concerts with you and watch you look up at the stars and tell me all about your theories about aliens. Way back before we started dating I knew you were my best friend. You still are. But you're also the man I want to spend my life with.
Stop typing and then erasing what your typing because I'm not done yet.
Is that the ring you just put on the table
Maybe ;)
Christ, Jack.
Alex, I have a really important question for you now.
Yeah? And what's the question.
Will you marry me?
Of course I fucking will.
Now hurry up and kiss me before people notice I'm crying.
