I want all of it, I've wanted all of it for longer than I realize, but you could put your affection out there like a carrot on a string and I'd STILL be happy with what you gave me."
He laughed softly.
"I honestly don't know how to communicate it either, man, if we're being honest right now. I buy you stuff and, well. Do things. And just hope it says what gets otherwise kind of lost in my constant verbal vomit."
