when something wonderful is happening, you notice the small details like time and the way his laugh skips a beat on his hurried breath As time goes on, the newness of what was wonderful is gradually slipping away instead you start to see things in a way you never did before like the way he talks about his sister, with a twinkle in his eye or when you hear his phone go off, but he doesn't check it because you're telling a story "her voice is getting loud again.. and now with the corny jokes? she's something else and you know he's only putting up with you because it's worth it
