Moment of truth is haunting you

I'll draw bath and load gun
You bathe and hunt

The way she gracefully sat down in her seat in class

When she made a joke about taking the money, and I was the only one that "got it"

How she had a quiet confidence about her as she sat down listening to her headphones in the hallway before class

Waiting for her to walk into class, and hoping nobody would take that seat next to me

How we clicked from the beginning with no awkward moments

How she asked for my number while I was contemplating how exactly to go about asking for hers

How she was completely candid and open with me right from that first conversation

Our walks from the class building over to the computer lab even though we weren't in the same recitation

When she agreed to come out to the movies with me and my friends

Her unique sense of humor

Our "study breaks"

Staying over on Thursday nights and leaving early Friday mornings for work

Oct 31, 2002 - the day we made it official

Our early emails and texts to each other

Shutting the kitchen door to talk with her in private

The night she "almost" stayed over

Running to get her at the Alewich

Consoling her after fights with her mom

Meeting her on the bus

The last day of finals -- getting her a Payday and froggy, making out with her before going home

Making her mixtapes of songs that reminded me of her

Her silly moments - arp arp arping; talking gibberish; dancing; doing her little spin

Horror movies

Helping her through driving, school, and finding a job

Head-butt kisses

Our traditional good-byes before she drove off

Biting my shoulder

Our Valentine's Days: Moon next to the old couple, Japanese Restaurant, Vincenzo's

Our first anniversary debacle: and my pictures recapping the night

Our tips - the beach, hiking, the park, feeding the ducks

When she met my family the first time on my birthday

My birthday night

When I first met her family and little cousin

Taking her cousin with us places

Laying down next to her and talking honestly

When I revealed my big family secret - and how supportive she was

Going to the wedding with her and dancing with her

Our trip to AC, kissing before we went to bed

Her laughing fits

How her last name is in mine

How much she loves her mom and cousin

How well my family got along with her

How she would call me her hero

Her livejournal entries about me
