I love you, Brandon Lee Hernandez.

I don’t know what I’d do without you in my life. :/ I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t come along. I remember when we were just friends, but before Payton made you stop talking to me, talking to you about things, and hoping that maybe you would come out first and say you liked me, so I didn’t have to be rejected and hurt and make things awkward. But it never happened.

and I remember the first time you told me, and your first “I love you.” and I remember my first “I love you.” I remember the first time I said it FIRST, you were so happy.

I remember our first date, looking at how big your feet were compared to mine, and seeing the hunchback. I remember sitting in 500 Days of Summer, wanting to hold hands but being too awkward to grab your hand. And finally you grabbed mine and did the thing where you rub my fingers with your thumb. and I remember how my heart nearly exploded when we kissed for the first time, and I remember how perfect and not awkward at all and just completely right it was. I’m gay. I love you.
