John: when i wave goodbye to your dealer

Share this - I never found someone I'd really like to go out with.

John: i can't find the words just yet, so:

I suppose most of us are lonely in this big world, but we must fall tremendously in love to find it out. The cure is the discovery of our need for company - I mean company in the very special sense we've come to understand since we happened to each other - you and I. The pleasures of human experience are emptied away without that companionship - now that I've known it; without it joy is just an unendurable as sorrow. You are my life - my very life. Never imagine your hope approximates what you are to me. I love you, that's all there is to it.

Nick: i don't know what to say yet either. i read this a few days ago:

A few days later Freddie and I were together on the sofa in the lounge watching an old thirties' black-and-white movie. The heroine asked her partner: 'Will we spend the rest of our lives together?' Freddie looked at me and asked the same thing. 'Of course we will,' I answered. 'Don't be silly.'

Nick: jesus i'll keep it curly forever if you really like it so much.

Share this - Take my hand and let me hear your heart beat.

John: so do we think this apartment is haunted? i'm trying out dirty talk.

Nick: do you want to know the first time i thought it? it was a really dumb, really small moment, we weren't even close to dating yet. it was right before i left for buenos aires and you told me you'd signed up for that fucking argentinian newsletter. you have no idea what that did to me. i wanted to die, you couldn't give me a single break and you didn't even really know you were doing it. i remember thinking "fuck, i'm in love with him" and it didn't even feel like a real feeling yet but i didn't stop thinking about it for a while

John: i can't believe me volunteering to spam my own inbox so i could efficiently stalk you is the moment you realized you were in love with me. why.

Share this - You are in this too.

John: you know i'm like, in love with you, right

Nick: fuck. for real?

Share this - I'm gonna keep you in love with me for a while.
