"... but now you are here, lost in the fog."
1. It's so easy to count days past and undersell the experience, but what about the things you didn't see? Did you know that I stared at the closed door and plugged my ears while you were in the bathroom? Did you notice that I lined your electric bill up along the edge of the table while you were washing ( Read more... )

And now, New Order:

Confusion: If I really tried, I could hear the bubbling from the fish tank by the bed. He was sitting and tapping away at the computer, and I was standing by his side, watching him in the way that all girls watch their first boyfriends- a bit of caution with some egregious amount of unexplained loyalty.

It feels so good to confirm that I'm not the only sentimental fool between the two of us.

Oh, but life's too short for these kinds of problems.

That's real talk.

I've been listening to your wedding song all day today. I remember laughing when the song came on as you walked down the aisle, but I think I understand it now. It touches my heart in such a strange way tonight. There's something beautiful about living in the present long enough to grow up/old together. Is that love? I've been wondering a great ( Read more... )
