Lettinggo Quotes

i'm one of those people that can't let
go.if i've had fun with you once, i will
text you on your birthday for at least
the next five years. if we were friends in
elementary school and haven't talked 
since, i guarantee i still know your

still tell stories about great times with 
people i haven't seen in years. if you
turn down my offer to get drinks and
catch up ten times, i promise i will still

okay. so if i give up on you, just know
that you damn well deserved it.
