when we manage to be in the same room, and we talk and we fight.

and (god, how last year is this) the way you won't break eye contact makes people stare at us.

and i make jokes like "time is running out."

and you keep looking me in the eye, and you get nervous. and then you smile, look nervous again & laugh, and say, "i know it is."

that's what makes me feel like everything else will fall into place.
