We Knew

"Three and half minutes felt like a lifetime." -Better than Ezra

And when you looked at me I suddenly felt it, that thing they always talk about where your heart leaps into your throat and suddenly you understand. But the thing is, you don't know what you understand, just that you understand it.

And your eyes tear up and your arms get goosebumps all over and you're sweating . . . god, you're sweating. And you just look at them and you know . . . you know. And like I said, you don't know what you know . . . but somehow it's okay. It's enough to know that you know.

And he knew. When you know, it's like you're given temporary ESP and you can tell that they know. He knew. And I knew.

And somehow . . . somehow . . . we knew.

We knew that the tangled embrace, the limbs at odd angles, the sweat pouring and the goosebumps with the tears in our eyes . . . we knew it was . . . we knew what it was.

And it was enough to know.

We didn't speak of it again.

Ever.
