Texts From Last Night

After Sister Saviour started dancing with me, Cowboy hurried downstairs and out of the room. I didn't see him as she walked me out a few minutes later when Wrecking Ball had arrived to drive me home. I'm still a bit embarrassed about that car ride. But I digress. When I got home, we had this conversation...

2:13 am. Cowboy: im sorry. im sorry i couldnt show you how i really felt about you. im sorry i wasnt the man you needed me to be. im sorry i couldnt say i love you when it mattered. i just want you to be happy. i do love you and wish only the best for you. goodbye [Horchata]. maybe some day i can actually just be a friend. until then i love you and good luck

3:18 am. Cowboy: perhaps so

I just want to say, in my defence, that I have only had this phone a few weeks. It requires buttons to be pressed firmly with the smallest possible part of the finger, and even then I need to proofread twice before I send a text. Drinking eliminates both proofreading and paying attention to how much of my finger is touching the button. I'm not denying that I was ridiculously drunk. I just wanted to say I'm not proud of my writing skills here.
