we watch it unfold. their love. if it was ever permanently there to begin with. i think they watch their time closely. i like to hope. so maybe when he hated her the first time, it didn't hurt as much. i close my eyes. sometimes i cry. but usually i sit cross legged and wait for her to walkout of the bathroom. she banished her soul to his reserved moments of breathless pause. and that is how i learned what love is.
