She thought they'd still stay together after what he'd seen? He hardly wanted to look at her again, let alone stay married to her. He would never be able to trust her again, especially since he didn't really love her…

I remember when the days were long,
And the nights when the living room was on the lawn.
Constant quarreling, the childish fits, and our clothes in a pile on the ottoman.
All the slander and double-speak
Were only foolish attempts to show you did not mean
Anything but the blatant proof was your lips touching mine in the photobooth.

He didn't understand why she cried and apologized, she wasn't sorry while she was cheating, how long had it gone on for anyways? He doubted he'd ever get an honest answer… he wouldn't' believe anything she told him anymore anyways, even if she tried to tell him the truth, it would never be the same. With neither of their hearts in this marriage, it would have never lasted anyway.

And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will put your hard heart away.
You were so condescending...
And this is all that's left:
Scraping paper to document.
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.

And it was final. She couldn't have been happier for him, not only because she was in love with him, and this was their chance, even if neither had admitted it to the other yet. She knew how it felt to be free of such a burden, she'd experience such a similar situation, and she was glad he'd gotten out of it quicker than she had.

Cup your mouth to compress the sound,
Skinny dipping with the kids from a nearby town.
And everything that I said was true,
As the flashes blinded us in the photobooth.
Well, I lost track, and then those words were said.
You took the wheel and you steered us into my bed.
Soon we woke and I walked you home,
And it was pretty clear that it was hardly love.

In the weeks to come, they spent growing amounts of time together as friends, good friends, but nothing more. He wasn't ready yet, and she would wait forever for him. And every day that they spent together just fed their ever growing love for each other, and it was an unspoken treaty that they had both signed. When he was ready, when he felt it was time, they would be together. He knew that Tina had never loved him anymore than he had loved her, and he knew that neither had been honest or fair to the other… but he still had to get over his issues of trust, although he knew that she'd never treat him that way.


And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending.
And this is all that's left:
Scraping paper to document.
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.

As weeks turned into months, the friendship grew, feeding the ever growing love subconsciously with every second they spent together. Gradually, he was getting over the whole situation, but she was patient as ever, and grew more patient every day because as long as she was with him, it was all worth it.


And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending,
As the alcohol drained the days.

When things got hard for her with her daughter, with work, and cases, he was there to hold her while she cried, he was there to listen while she vented and thought everything out loud. He was there to make suggestions, to make things better, because he always could in a way that no one else would ever be able to.


And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending.
And this is all that's left:
The empty bottles, spent cigarettes.
So pack a change of clothes, 'cause it's time to move on

And in one years time, he was readyNow he just had to let her know, and this time, he was going to.
