"so you think this is it hu?"

her bare legs were swinging in the sun as she worked her way through three baskets of strawberries

"basically.. yeah

this is it"

"so all the shit we but up through
all the tears people cry
all the bad poetry, wallowing pop songs, wilted roses, thrown rings
for this?"

she was stretching in the sun now

"what's wrong with this"

he pulled her closer and scratched her face with his stub

she pulled her face away and looked at him

"nothing, that's what's wrong with it
i just thought there would be more of a bang, you know...
a big finale or showdown or something

i should've ran down the airport hallway and jumped onto you, screaming your name"
