  1. I'm sorry in advance that you'll never get to listen to an entire song before I skip to the next one.
  2. I will believe in you, even when you fail
  3. I promise to always find a way to challenge you to challenge yourself to be a better version of you.
  4. I will always be on your team, even when you're wrong and even when we lose.
  5. On those days that you can only give 30% I promise to give 70% as long as you are willing to do the same for me.
  6. I promise I will never throw away your favorite t-shirt
  7. Now I understand why it never worked out with anyone else.
