"Cooper, Cooper, Cooper. Have I ever told you how much I like your name? I saw this Tiktok the other day- I've been watching a lot of those and managed to get a shit ton of Lunch Club ones suggested to me- and the video was like 'Imagine having to moan the name Cooper in bed' and I found it hilarious.

"I miss getting high with you. I used to hate getting high, remember that? Then, I met you. And Logan and Sam. But it was mainly you that made me actually enjoy it. Shit, I was friends with fucking the Misfits before I was friends with you and they couldn't even get me to enjoy it. You're just different. Something about you could make me do anything and enjoy it.

"Jack and I used to always talk about soulmates in high school. I never believed in them, Jack did. After we got together, Jack brought it up again at one of the dinners and I told him I didn't know what I thought about soulmates anymore. His argument for them existing used you. That night I drove home just blasting love songs. That night I realized I loved you and told you the next day.

"I was so nervous telling you. I was so convinced I was unlovable. That even though you were in a relationship with me, you were never gonna actually love me. You would realize I was too flawed with my brain being fucked up and leave as soon as possible. You did say it back, though. We were 4 months,1 week, and 3 days in, and I realized that maybe soulmates exist.

"Why do you love me when I'm so fucked in the brain? I don't get it. I've had a lot of bad days since we broke up. A lot. The only thing that kept me going through those days was remembering what you did for me on my bad days. We laid in bed almost all day, talking about nothing and everything. You'd make me laugh so hard. I mean, you always do but it affected me so much more on the bad days. I miss how you played with my fingers and when you traced my collar bones while we talked. It was so calming.

"Somehow I haven't had a single bad day in the couple of weeks we've had these voicemails going. You're the best thing to ever happen to me. My mom says hi, by the way, we talked about you at lunch yesterday. I love you, Coop."
