>You’re beautiful.
>I knew you would be.

-lol don't shit a shitter, Jac

>You're not a shitter, and I don't need to. You really are beautiful. Inside and out. Because you're kind. You're interested. You asked who I was.

-you say things no one else says

>No one else listens like you do.
You’re the only one who’s ever let me be honest. Let me be truly myself. Even start finding out who "myself" is. And it's even better because I like who I am when you're around.

-Jac? I don’t want you to go quiet again 😩

>I won't
>Just keep me close.

-i will

>And don’t tell anyone.
>They wouldn’t understand.

-i won’t.
-promise
