Hi.
[By which he means: I spent nearly a decade not checking in, so I'm going to do that now when I can.]

Re: text

*I* am in public

[mathemagier]

Well unless you're showing my texts to people on the street, they're fairly private. It's not as though I'm sending you anything explicit.

Re: text

[justaskalice]

[mathemagier]

Quite all right. I wouldn't have been able to do so anyway. Seems a bit tasteless without any lead-in.

[mathemagier]

Yes, perhaps you'll convince me at some point. For now, I just want you to know I love you.

forget i said that
even if so i don't want to know lie to me

[mathemagier]

I'm not lying to you when I say sex has no impact on how much I love you. Yes, it would be nice to have, but really what I want most when I lay down each night is just to hold you.

[justaskalice]

honstly herm then wat do i give u n xchange for ur lov

[mathemagier]

You're alive and fighting to retain as much of yourself as possible to give me time to sort this all out. You remind me why I'm doing this every time I catch these glimpses of your real self and I treasure them.

Even if I didn't love you, you are my friend and I would do all of this for you regardless.

no wait let's go back to
