Yes, I know it and you know it. Two people enter with hopes raised, into forced conversation and awkward exchanges. You try. You try again. Then out of the blue, there it is... somone who "gets" your silly jokes, and snaps right back with their own, which you actually think are funny too. A glance.. eyes connect. Conversation last for hours.. where did the night go? I call you up for a spontaneous outing.. and of course, You say yes. It's really great that we can laugh at that.. I didn't think anyone else thought that was as funny as I do.
Drinking a few too many beers, and spending the evening spilling secrets.. only to laugh about it all later. Remember that time the car ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere, and we had to walk back to civilization? You know.. when we really learned to love/hate each other walking on that warm summer night? Remember strolling downtown at Christmas with the flurry of snow swirling all around us? Yeah, so I saved the little piece of wisdom from that fortune cookie. You remember.. the Chinese dinner when I realized we would be friends for a long time. It's still hanging on my fridge. Just like the painting I got of you is still hanging on wall. Hey, remember that time...
No games. No pretenses. No expectations. You just you. Just me. No dating... because "dating" sucks, remember?
