Coming Out


Can I tell you something? 

It's quite important 

But I mean no alarm so, actually I'll say it's not

We haven't talked in a while

It's time I tell you this thing

Oh you're kind of busy?

Well if I could...just 5 minutes? 

It's alright I'm afraid you'll judge me anyway. 

Well I've got the courage now

I need to tell you something!

Oh you're going to bed. I see

Five minutes? 

Not to alarm you, 

just wanted to tell you something. 

Oh. Tomorrow? 

Tell you tomorrow. 

I'm afraid that I might not be able to. 

For tomorrow I just won't have the courage. 

Yes. 

Goodnight. 

I miss you too.
