Once upon a time,
20
59270
1035
01:00
there was a girl who lived in the same block as me.
21
60305
3045
01:03
I saw her nearly every day and,
22
63510
2430
01:05
to tell the truth, I really fancied her.
23
65940
2950
01:14
But, I never had the guts to speak to her.
24
74060
2220
01:19
Until one day she lost her phone.
25
79890
2950
01:23
Hey.
26
83460
980
01:25
Hey.
27
85220
320
01:26
It’s just that I’ve lost my mobile phone
28
86150
1860
01:28
and I need to make a call.
29
88010
1482
01:29
I couldn’t borrow your mobile phone, could I?
30
89492
2508
01:32
Phone?
31
92350
840
01:33
Yeah, yeah, phone, I’ve got it.
32
93190
1880
01:35
Yes, here you go, have it.
33
95070
2710
01:37
Keep… take it, use it, it’s yours.
34
97780
2800
01:40
Use it.
35
100670
1132
01:41
So she used it.
36
101802
1153
01:43
We then started to talk more
37
103190
2310
01:45
and more and got to know each other.
38
105500
2350
01:47
Yeah, I like food.
39
107940
1650
01:49
No way.
40
109690
1250
01:51
I like food too.
41
111120
1240
01:52
I like to eat it every day.
42
112490
2170
01:54
I like to eat it every day too.
43
114690
2360
01:58
We came to realise we had a lot in common.
44
118010
3153
02:01
In fact, we had everything in common.
45
121163
2906
02:04
We were a match made in heaven.
46
124210
2540
02:11
We then started seeing lots of each other
47
131670
2440
02:14
and eventually started dating.
48
134110
2380
02:16
We spent every minute of the day together,
49
136490
2774
02:19
and I just couldn’t bear to be apart from her.
50
139264
3046
02:26
Yes, ladies and gentleman, I had fallen in love.
51
146867
3775
02:35
So I decided to get down on one knee,
52
155910
2769
02:38
and she said yes.
53
158679
1611
02:40
And then, we decided to move in together.
54
160590
2330
02:42
It was great in the beginning,
55
162920
1940
02:44
however living together was a bit different,
56
164860
3580
02:48
and there were certain things about us
57
168440
2535
02:50
that annoyed each other.
58
170975
1645
02:52
Then things culminated
59
172730
1820
02:54
in one massive argument about the washing up.
60
174550
3450
03:04
And she said she was leaving.
61
184960
1920
03:07
Our relationship was officially on the rocks.
62
187967
3435
03:16
So the weeks passed by while I was alone in my flat.
63
196680
4150
03:26
I grew to realise that I missed her terribly,
64
206830
2680
03:29
and my life,
65
209533
923
03:30
while not perfect, was much better with her.
66
210611
3577
03:34
So I called her.
67
214480
1760
03:36
I really miss you.
68
216510
1430
03:39
I miss you too.
69
219170
1320
03:40
So she came back the next day,
70
220830
2280
03:43
we kissed and made up and lived happily ever after.
71
223110
7110
04:01
And so there we go, guys, that’s a wrap.
