We were both drunk sooo - like I don’t think anything that happens when we’re both drunk can really ‘mean’ something, you know?
Sweet dreams to you too babes xx

This. This is the colour your eyes are when the sun hits them and you're worrying about if he’s going to text you back.
I wasn’t going to, but I’ll make time if it's you.
Ummm because you’re exhausted silly?? Come over, I’m ordering us a pizza + running you a bath.
Yes, I accept that I said I wanted to kiss the freckle under your jaw so badly it was literally killing me. I’m sorry if you found that misleading, I really did just mean it as a friend.
I can’t believe we’re talking about this again lol

Hey, how have you been? I keep meaning to reach out.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about stuff.
Hey I know you’re probably really busy with the move, but can we please talk? Face to face. There’s some things I’d like to say to you before you go.

Making up for lost time haha x
But for real, sorry it took me so long.
I love you.
