- Here's a speed paint I did of some old album artwork of mine !! The original version of this song is in a little album i made in January 2015, and was titled "I Promise I'm Trying". Through u guys frequently requesting I play it for u on livestreams and at Cave Club hangouts I remembered how much I loved it, and so naturally I made a new version :)
Here's the old version if ur interested: cavetown.bandc...

A.J Mellons just another one of those days 👀
This is one is def one of my favourites out of this album!!
Happy vent:
Today, I went outside, minutes before sunrise. It was completely quiet, no one but the birds were making a sound. It was damp, it had rained the day before. The sun was just starting to show through the clouds. I put on my headphones, turned on this song, and I danced in the road. It was just me, and I danced there until the sun was completely up. It was one of the freest moments of my life.
That's an amazing thing, my friend. I hope I can do that too someday :)
It's wonderful how you can just go outside and dance :) I live in a flat so that's not an option for me haha
Thats so beautiful. Never stop looking for moments like that ☺️
bro literally be my best friend... we can dance together
@@what-sq5fs I'd be okay with that
JESUS CHRIST ROBBIE YOU'RE POSTING THESE SONGS LIKE 10 SECONDS APART
jamblemimbles that’s how posting an album on youtube works
jamblemimbles ik
AS SOON AS I FINISHED THE FIRST SONG I SAW THE SECOND ONE WTF
jamblemimbles I KNOW I LOVE HIM LIKE HE IS THE BEST SINGER
Sierra I DID NOT EVEN FINISH THE FIRST ONE
AHH YES THIS WILL DO WELL IN MY SPOTIFY PLAYLIST
dAIsy dUKeS omg ikr
the old one is like the sad part of a movie, when there are lot of problems, and this version is like the happy ending when everything's gonna be allright
i loved both
i swear he makes every sad song into a happy one and i dont like that ://
@@milo7509 maybe he's just trying to give his old and sad songs another "color", like, he may wrote those ones in a hard part of his life, but now it seems like maybe those times are finally gone so he remakes them...
anyway, you can always listen to the old ones if you like them more, i think that specially "i promise i'm trying" is kinda "raw" and i like that so much, he does well in both styles ("raw" and with "more production")
"There's no way he revamped I promise I'm trying"
*song starts* i'm not really-
"YEAAAH!"
What song is this a remake of. Please i needdd to know
K. C. Yeah I screamed when the first words started. I always loved the original but this one is so much more amazing!
THATS EXACTLY- LIKE SPOT ON HOW I REACTED
This is a picture perfect representation of how I reacted to the first few words..
So true-
I can’t-
I promise I’m trying was there for me in my darkest moments, while I was in pain and hurt. I told myself I had to be strong and that I couldn’t cry. I forced myself to tough it out. When I felt like I couldn’t feel Robbies music did it for me. I promise I’m trying became a song that hurt to listen to.
Trying.
It’s been so long since I cried, Like Really cried. Trying feels like a warm hug, the same song, but growth. It feels like I’m finally free. I can’t express how much i love this.
So Thank you Robbie, for making incredible music. You saved me and so many others, and it’s been such a pleasure to watch you grow, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. Thank you.
Hey, I’m right there with you. So glad you’re ok (and if you’re not, it does get better. I promise it does). I know I’m just a random stranger, but keep on trying for those that love you, even if you think no one does- someone out there does. And one is enough. 🧡🧡🧡 stay strong
This song never fails to make me cry and cavetown has honestly helped me through SO MUCH and I am so grateful....for times where I felt like i didnt wanna be here cavetown was always their for me and made me feel less alone.
yess, today my friend said I was acting differently these days and said "it's like you aren't you" which made me think about and feel pretty bad the whole day and I listen to this song and I felt much better :)
I bet, living with your dad is painful. Jokes aside, this is a sweet thing to read
This hurt to read... I feel exactly the same way...
Im so used to telling myself im worthless and hating myself that now i can't even cry anymore... Sometimes i just feel completely empty... And i dont exactly know why...
Robbie: This Is Home.
Also Robbie: Home :]
Robbie: I promise i'm trying.
Also Robbie: Trying. :D

Sometimes, shorter is better :3

@@Lemonnitenite THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!
The moment I realized that it’s remake to “I promise I’m trying” made me cry. Robin, you’re the biggest treasure of impression and inspiration
same here uhG
I had a MOMENT when I heard the first words because I promise I’m trying is one of my favorite Cavetown songs and it hits me really hard so being blindsided by this killed me in the best way
Same at the beginning i was like these chords sound familiar then when I realised it was i promise im trying i just started crying

Lyrics cuz I couldn't find them in the comments:
[Verse 1]
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you
But I can't really find
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes
And sort them in my mind
The negative thoughts go on the left
The happy things on the right
And there's a little corner saved just for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Please let me know if you change your mind
'Cause inside I'm falling
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
I realize how hard on you this must seem
But trust me when I say
It's far, far worse for me
[Chorus]
Please, please be here for me dear
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I can't stress enough
How much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind
If you can't hold me like you used to
'Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
I promise I'm trying
(I promise I'm trying)
(I promise, I promise)
[Verse 2]
Give me a moment to get my cards in line
'Cause I'm still trying to figure out
In what kind of order should I set them out
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
But a part of me wants to let you be
'Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
But I should've woken up, woken up by now
[Chorus]
Please, please be here for me dear
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I can't stress enough
How much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind
If you can't hold me like you used to
'Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
I promise I'm trying
There's one right before yours
your the messiah
Thank you
Thx
Ty!
Lyrics!

Thank you :)
i can only ever read this in the tune of the original
I remember listening to his older version of this song back in 2018 and just crying on my bed in the pitch black, never relating to a song this much before. I felt as if this song was made for me. I was in a pretty bad depressive episode and still kind of struggle now but things have gotten much, much better. Robbies music really helped me out during that time and I couldn't be more grateful. I just feel so bittersweet right now. :'(
Aww I'm really sorry you had to go through that
i hope robbie knows how much he helps his fans with his music. i remember when i first heard this song a few years back. i will never forget hearing it for the first time
I spent 3 years of my life living in denial of an eating disorder. “I promise I’m trying” is SO so accurate if you piece the lyrics together with an eating disorder. I listened to it to get me through the mental exhaustion. I was always hiding it from everyone, all my depression and even after countless suicide attempts it was always “act fine. You’re fine”. But this song was like a way to deal with that. Thank you so much for this :,(
Yeah the original version of this song got me through some shit
you want a hug, friend? *opens arms*
@@aspillust hug all ur friends, and let them know ur not letting go uvu
This song resonated with me with my OCD and really gave me inspiration to continue trying to overcome it
@@cheesekat264me too
The first song of yours that ever made me cry. I had been listening to you for only a couple days and I heard it and was balling. My dad asked what was wrong and I said “I just listened to the most beautiful song I have ever heard”. It’s so weird to think it’s been 5 years since then. I am so proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished Robbie and can’t wait to see what you come out with.
Oh my wow me too. The first song I heard of his was This is Home and I remember listening to it over and over and over again just crying but being so happy at the same time. That was before I started junior high, I’ll be going into high school next school year and it’s still my favorite song.
@@Iloverollerskatingandgirls Ive had that exact same experience! I listened to this is home in my first month of junior high and i cried so much but also felt relieved and happy. Still one of my faves and im starting hs next year too
I remember always listening to this song for comfort. So great to see him do it again
It's so weird I started listening to this funny emo kid almost 6 years ago and now he's playing live shows,I feel like a proud parent.
not to be that person but it's actually "bawling" not "balling" :')
I literally read trying and almost collapsed. My mind rushed to "IS THIS I PROMISE I'M TRYING?!
Update: IT IS
Yes, it is
♡
YEAH IM SOBBING CAUSE OF THAT
I KNOW.
RIGHT?
Omg yes
Most TH-camrs: Sorry for the late upload guys, rendering was being slow etc
Robbie: *post like a whole album within a minute* I AM SPEED
lmao
I'm really liking the subtle difference between this and the previous version of the song. The old one sounded more innocent and soft. It was like a child just softly talking with their friend. It's light and it sounds sweet.
This version on the other hand is more like an urgent desperate plea from a teenager to their friend. It's like after going through so many friends who left them and experiencing the near brunt of their own struggles, they're so desperate for this one friend to still stay with them. It's not light and soft, it's heavy and much more frantic. They're doing their best to reassure the friend that they *will try*. They already know what it's like to lose a friend compared to the child. The child is scared but still doesn't know what it's like to lose a friend so they merely ask softly for the friend to stay. But the teenager knows, and they don't want to experience that pain again.
give me a second, let me just cry because i read that whole thing out loud
'I've never needed a friend more'..
'If there was a way to explain everything without a word'
Those lyrics hit me like a bus !!
hey, I'm here if you need it
Yes. Exactly.
12 car train, for me
Robbie: just flexing with all his talents
We: more please
OHMYGOD HE SAID THE FIRST WORD AND I GASPED SO LOUDLY I CHOKED- THIS IS A REMAKE OHMYGOD
this song got me through so much... when i was really bad last year i used this song to describe my feelings because i couldn’t get the words out.. thank you
thank you for writing this comment. I used it as well and it's wonderful knowing I wasn't ever alone. I hope you are doing much better now and are following suit with this happier remake of this song
SAME I GOT LITTERAL CHILLS WHEN I REALISED
SAME I ALMOST DIED
SAME! IVE BEEN LISTENING TO IT ON REPEAT SINCE HE RELEASED IT! I cried a lot. It made me remember the nightmare I lived through. But that just proves that me, and anyone else who’s gotten through tough times, are strong. We can get through anything.
I SCREAMED
The first version of this song effected me through one of the lowest points of my life, and as things have gotten better, now this one resonates with me too. The first songs sounds like more of a "Please don't leave, even if I don't get better," but this one sounds more like, "I'm getting better and I want you to be there to see it,"
That's just my take on it anyways
Same man, same

“I Promise I’m Trying”
I’m so happy he made another version of this, it was seriously on of my favorite songs, and I like what he did with this one!
Me: *hears the first lyrics*
My tears: Ah shit, here we go again
"i've never needed a friend more"
"I've never hated myself more"
"But I promisse i'm tryng"
You just captured the three lines that hurt me the most
This song reminds me of my mum so much. She tries her best to understand everything about me (I’m trans and pan) and it means the world how much she tries to get things right. I know she won’t ever get to see this, but I really appreciate everything she’s ever done, from getting my first binder for me to correcting her own mother whenever she calls me by my birth name.
this just made me cry
I wish I could come out...I wish I could understand myself better...I have a family that supports the LGBTQ+ community, I just don't think they would understand me or believe me if I tried to come out..
please tell her. im sure this would make her so happy
i am crying :)
ma mum know me so well.
can we take a moment to appreciate his art? there's something so mesmerizing about his drawing like I love it so much
I remember hearing 'I Promise I'm Trying' for the first time and crying. This hits so hard and I love it :')
This version sounds like a movie where there's a character who lives a dull life of darkness because they've given up on trying to please people and shuts out anyone that tries to get close to them. There's an empty space in her heart but she doesn't know what it's supposed to be filled with. But then she meets a girl who very obviously likes her but she ignores it and keeps pushing her away despite their resilience.
And then she begins to realize that this is the girl who lights up her world and makes her feel like anything is possible. Who makes her see that the bad things are only temporary.
Love is what fills that space.
But before she can express her feelings, there is a misunderstanding between the two so the main character begins to shut her soulmate out. So to protect both of them from getting hurt, the girl decides to leave. The music starts swell as our hero realizes that they can't lose the only person who made them feel alive. So she hops on her bike and chase the car into the night.
As she races down the street she remembers everytime she saw the girl smile, heard her laugh, saw her gazing at the stars as she made predictions of what the future held.
Does she ever catch up? I don't know. I guess it depends on how the songs ending feels for you𓆏
*writing down notes* M O R E
I’m crying, I really wanna know the end of this story
PLEASE write a book
This was a ride, oh my god. And I loved it. I hope you continue to write!!
Oddly specific but yes
I wasn’t prepared for the emotional rollercoaster this brought me on. “Promise I’m trying” was one of my favorite songs at a really hard time of my life and this just hit me with a wave of nostalgia and memories that I had almost forgotten, so thanks Robin for wrigity-wrigity-WRECKING ME ily

Bruh I was looking for one of these comments for a while, thank u
as someone who's been here watching you grow since about 10K, this just makes me more proud of how far you've come and you never fail to amaze me
L Burrows i’ve been since about 40k and it’s insane. i love him🥺
I emotional sometimes thinking about how much he's grow with his music
Hes grown so much, it's crazy, we all love him so much
Same :) it is like seeing a kid growin up, just that I forget am growing up too
Last time I was this early, Cavetown had wrote the first This is Home
The one person who disliked this must’ve been crying so hard they had their phone upside down and thought it was the like button
Maybe all their tears piled up accidentally on the dislike button
Aesthetically_a_bitch yeah or that
or they didn't like the song?
erin caffrey that dosent exist
they were australian
i tried to paint this and it kinda failed but i like the art i created in the process of failing :D
💜 Now, just take this, and look at it as a metaphor for life. 💜
Yall these replies are so wholesome ;^;
this version sounds like a sad part of a movie... like the part where a couple tries to fix things after an eternity of problems and bad choices, but they're struggling.
thanks for re-making this, robbie. your music is evolving, and we're all here with you every step of the way. your music is a big part of my life. you've helped me process so much in my life, and i'm forever grateful that you shared your gift with us.
here's to more good times down the road. cheers to you, robbie.

If anything is wrong please tell me and I'll fix it!
when you wrote: "I can't stress just how much..." it's actually: "I can't stress enough how much" 👍🏻
“If there was a was to explain” should be “If there was a way to explain”
Thank you!💞
"I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
But I should've woken up, woken up by now"
tb it was one of the most relatable lyrics... and it still is :(
it warms my heart seeing people saying thank you to many artists! i really like looking in comment sections of artists who have proud fans because the community seems so warm and friendly. some artist fandoms are lowkey so sweet.
There is honestly at this point no way my kids won't grow up on Cavetown.

Big mood
me & my ex's "songs" were all by you, this song has me balling my eyes out in the best way possible. this song has me understanding myself and my feelings so well.
I saw “Trying” and knew right away I would be in a lot of emotional pain the second he started singing. This song is so important to me :(
I can't even explain what this song makes me feel. I'mma cry.

YOU are important.
YOU are beautiful.
YOU are unique.

I never imagine to get this kind of comfort from a complete stranger. Badly need it ehehe.
You don’t know how much that means to me right now thank you so much I really needed that
thank you.
Thanks steven, i needed this
No❤️
It’s been months since I listened to this song.. but every time the chorus starts and before the chorus I always cry.. my chest is heavy .. I’m choking.. this song is my release..
AHH I CANT LISTEN TO ALL THESE SONGS AT ONCE HELP
I feel that 😭
4:20 funny number amiright people??
Yep, haha, so funny
si
Oui, tres funny
Nice
We found a funny man
This is one of the first cavetown songs I listened to 😭 I love it so much
When I listen to the revamp and the old one, it sounds more prouder and more happier, most likely bittersweet. I think this is a sign that things are just getting better despite the world weighing down on us.
Like Deviltown, v1, v2, and then the latest revamp. It has a huge difference. So does Home, so I'm thinking that this is only gonna get better. It's nice just listening to this and thinking that we're really trying our best and just, know that somebody's gonna be there for us.
"I Promise I'm Trying" has always been my favorite song of yours. Now, with "Trying", I feel all the same emotions I did when I heard IPIT for the first time. Thank you for this. It's beautiful.
i promise i'm trying? more like- i promise i'm crying. haha- yes i'm crying. i love this so much.
Lol yes thus is so true
The first time i listened to this song i cried so hard i woke up with raccoon eyes...
how r u now??
I love you so much and I’m so proud of you for everything you’ve acomplished I remember watching you singing tunes in your bedroom and now it’s infront of a huge crowd you don’t understand how much you’ve helped me especially recently I’ve been struggling with a lot but you’ve helped a lot and still do especially with this new album I’m sure these songs most likely this one will be the one I listen to during A bad day I’m sure it will cheer me up just like you always do I’m so incredibly proud I feel like a proud mom lmao anyway keep being you because your pretty great🐸💛
This song is like double nostalgia because I remember listening to his original version "I promise I'm trying" years ago, and his song are already nostalgia inducing. I love this!
an artist of all types
This song low key makes me feel like my feelings are cared for and it gives me much joy
I had a dream, and in the dream u were sing a song about coffee. I cant remember the lyrics but it gave off soft vibes.
HE RECREATED I PROMISE IM TRYING 🥺
This song literally got me out of one of the worst depressive episodes of my life and I'm so happy that it's been redone I love this so much
I promise im trying: sad, depression,
trying: inspiring, hopeful,
"And i can't stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying."
This is one of the only songs that makes me cry now, of all the times ive listened to my sad playlist this one still makes me cry. Just all the memories of my friends who need some mental help, that lyric just makes me cry.
Loving this song Robbie. I’m sure the album is great. I haven’t listened to it yet since it literally came out like 3 minutes ago, but I’ll try and listen to it as soon as possible.
3 days after this came out was the first time I ever talked to my best friend, at the time I didn't know he would mean this much to me and how much my life changed after having him in it and how happy I am that he's still here and how happy I am that I'm lucky enough to call him my best friend. every time I listen to this song I think of him, I love you maxxie.
Beautiful things only flourish and grow with time. I love how most of his old songs are now going from a cute uke song made in his bedroom to such a magnificent masterpiece! I'm shook and extremely inspired and thankful.♥
"I promise I'm trying"
Why does this line hit so hard.
Because PAIN.
i dunno but hearing it hurts
this turned into from the song playing as the character gives up to the character noticing that there’s so much more to life and finally notices that everything can be so different and colors become brighter
I finally have the energy to type out this comment, so here we are.
I have been through everything. I'm only 20 and I have more ptsd than a war veteran according to my psychiatrist. I LOVED this song when it was first released, I listened to it all the time though my battles and related so hard.
I remember getting the notification for this remake 6 months ago and full on I cried with happiness because of how much the original means to me, and this was made when I was about to end it all. I took it as a sign to hang in there for a bit longer, which is why I'm here now lol. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Robin, you're truly an angel, and I'm not even religious lol.
hey man, I'm only 19 and trust me when i say i feel like I've seen/ been through it all too (my therapist also agrees and has sent me to a mental hospital twice in one year soo do with that ehat you will lol). Cavetown def makes it so much better cuz it's like it speaks to your soul and just overwhelms it
Cave town is the best thing that has happened to me❤️
I absolutely admire cavetown, If I’m upset or just need to relax I’ll listen to their music! I’ve listened to almost all of their songs and idk what I would do without their music!💕
Found my way back to this song...I really needed it

@@jackisatack9322 Oh noes
@@jackisatack9322 sure lmao
I'm new to this, so i don't know: Is this song about a childhood's stuffed animal? the nostalgia for something long gone, looking for words not in your vocabulary, wishing structure while missing the simpler times, "i'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes"... regardless, this is breathtaking.
this video will always make me cry
I like how this version sounds a lot more hopeful. Like from the days I promise I'm trying was written and this his life has truly improved, and he's happier. A message that trying is really worth it. Idk, I just find that really lovely,,
Dear Robbie,
I've been listening to your songs for more than a year. Thank you. You are such a sunshine in my life, you always make me feel brighter, I relate a lot to your lyrics and I feel understood, but not in the violent way that negative and loud songs about the same things make me. I am honestly in tears, every time I hear your songs, every time a flower blooms inside my heart. And I'm sure there are millions of people who feel the same way that I do about you.
To be honest, at this point, you are a life saver.
I can't believe how beautiful and unique and relatable your songs are. Those lyrics... I've truly never heard anything like that. It feels like a home to me, in a time when I'm grieving home. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
cavetown has helped me through more panic attacks than i care to admit. hes saved me so many times, thank you robbie
This song has changed my life. The fact that you have revisited it makes me so happy. Thank you, from the bottom of all of our hearts. ♡♡♡𓆏𓆏𓆏
I come back to this from time to time, when things get tough. Some of my friends have been through a lot, way more than I ever had to, and sometimes I feel bad because I’m afraid I’m not being good enough, trying to support them. This song made me feel like shit in the past for not being there, but it also woke me up. Now it’s an hopeful song for me, it reminds me that I still have a chance to be there for those whom I love, and that just by trying to be close to them and love them no matter what I’m helping them, at least a little bit, and I’m making them feel less of a mistake. They just need and deserve love and I want to give it to them. I may not be perfect, but as long as I can I’ll try to be good, for them
I absolutely love this. I love your unique way of turning something so personal into something that can be relatable for other people that may be going through something similar. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this 🧡🧡🧡
I used to listing to this song a lot when I was suffering through depression I can relate to it so much im glad you made this song your songs got me through a lot
will brasfield I have bipolar and PTSD and whenever I get episodes, I always go to that song to cry. :,)
To everyone who happens to see this comment: How are you? No really, how are you? Lots of stuff's going on all around the world, and it's messing people's lives up pretty bad. Again to everyone who's seeing this, try to comment something similar on another video. Spread the love y'all, we'll get through this.
i could be a lot better tbh.
@@my_name_is_bee thanks for asking💖 I mean I haven't felt really good for few months but I try to keep going even if I feel worse and worse I just try to get through the day at this point honestly
Monika Lebiedź I’m ok. Honestly ok. I am happy with my friends but it sucks not seeing them. Thank you for this. Love 💙💜💗
I'm not doing the best, I started a new medication just before quarantine started, and the side effects are sleep paralysis, insomnia, nightmares, and lucid dreams, so i just feel like I'm not really existing right now
@@my_name_is_bee aww that's amazing (:
OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS SONG AND THIS REMAKE IS EVEN BETTER OMGGGSJSJWSBSJZ
“I promise I’m trying” has always been one of my favorite songs of Robin’s. It got me through a lot and honestly, described everything I was going through to a T when I fell hopelessly in love. Now, having it remade, nearly brought me to tears as I’m remembering all the good and the bad that was happening around me during the time I listened to this song. :,)
To the person who showed me this song years ago, I miss you. This new version is amazing but I can’t stop crying
Robin: *posts a video of him breathing
me: *adds in the playlist
YES 👏👏 👏
this is beautiful...
robbie, please, never stop singing.
never stop laughing.
never stop writing.
never stop drawing.
never stop painting.
never stop loving.
but, most of all, please, never lose sight of who you are or of who you aim to be.
robbie, as selfish as this may seem.
please, don’t leave me, don’t leave us.
i believe i don’t speak only for myself, but you’re one of the little things that make my life
warm and loving, i don’t want you to leave what makes you happy and what makes us happy, seeing you content with your work and yourself.
with love, just a random fan stopping by.
omg this was beautiful
This really made me happy. I would cry if someone said this to me. It was so sweet and very kind of you. ❤
@limelight - you’re basically sending the message of this song right back to him. Takeaway: we all need each other.
THAT WAS SO WHOLESOME
omg :'0
@@lesliefields7619 this comment made me feel good
i listened to this song back when it only had one version, and i remember frequently crying along to it because i felt so alone, yet this song sang to me like it knew me so deeply that itd been my friend,, it was so touching yet so sad, and it was reaching out for help and To help so much so that it did Wonders for a real sad kid like me to hear it qvq,,
now hearing this, hearing the somber plucking and the downtrodden lyrics that beg for reliance, for stability,, now more than ever it really Hits me,, this is one of THE MOST beautiful songs Ever, and it came at just the right time Thank u robbie i cant ever say this enough :(
I’ve been feeling so hollow lately and listening to these songs makes my chest just burst with emotion. I’ve been waiting for this song ever since you played it live in Sydney. Definitely worth waiting for.
months ago, my friend (who's now my boyfriend) had sent me this song. I was looking through our old snapchat conversations and I found this song. when he sent it to me he said "life is poopy so here's a song that ain't so poopy. and ur a good fren" along the lines of that. and I remember the first time I listened to it, I was so teary eyed. around the same time, he had said to me that I was his best friend and that he hates telling his friends he loves em but it wasn't weird for him to tell me he loved me because Im best damn friend. gawd he's so fricking great :((
I still can't believe you brought back I Promise I'm trying.. I cried to that and I continue to cry to this
