Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Girls talk a lot. I’ve learned this simple fact being involved with a woman. A guy asked me how I was taking to being with a woman and I said, it’s the talking that really threw me. Nonstop. Da da da da da da da da da. I think I must have driven every taciturn man I was with out of their freaking mind with my constant yakety yak.
But suddenly, without the voice right here with me, I remember words more readily, even actions are easier to recall, and it’s clearer to see love when it is dwelled upon and the love baby talk that my friend was telling us about last night is not monopolizing your thoughts and anesthetizing your emotions and the intensity that comes at you like a freight train breaks like a pop and suddenly you see the landscape of your love in technicolor and at a loss for words, you go: WOW!
