1) This thing we've built does not amount to much. All the same, I do love the anticipation that comes when I know I'm going to see you. I haven't felt that in a long time. Years, maybe. It occurred to me the other day that it might be the sweetest thing, and that I might want to remember it. It could fall apart, I remind myself as I deftly maneuver the steering wheel from sharp right to slow left. I am jumpy and loud in my own car, singing along off-pitch to Jimmy Eat World. It could fall apart, tonight could end the whole thing, but this...this is pretty sweet. There is nothing that I can even think of really wanting to happen beyond this. I just want to keep feeling it. I want to keep feeling excited at the thought that soon I will be around you.

ReplyDeleteI don't have a clue what your talking about, but anything worth having is worth taking the risk for.
ReplyDeleteIt just takes some time. Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
ReplyDeleteFun, Christina...I like it when people say they're excited to see their S.O.'s, as opposed to, "I don't want to go home tonight because then I have to hang out with HIM."
ReplyDeleteSproactually, really? Not a clue? Really?!
Kevin, I cannot believe you just called me "little girl". You gonna offer me some candy and a ride home in your white conversion van, too?
