so i remember the smirk-ish glances erick & i gave each other when we saw that "best fiance in the world" shirt
erick strained to try to sneak a glance at the picture on the front & being the occassional facebook stalker that i am i told him that it was probably on facebook...
we checked...not a super clear picture...i had seen her in real life before..they had seen each other across the street from each other & as they crossed the street he picked her up & twirled her like a child as they hugged as if they had not seen each other in years...so i commented to erick on how i thought she looked
but while doing our final project for 140 & spending a crazy amt of hours in a basement it greatly amused us when that guy & his fiance came into the room i saw erick look casually & when they had left i said "i'm right, right?" he said something like "oh yeeeea"
so i was browsing facebook tonight once again & i come across this profile...his about me section said "ask my fiance" & hers said "will you be my queen?" & i knew that's probably what he said to propose...
in his testimonials it had said "one of the few good guys left in the world" or something
it echoed in my head
i couldn't help but think to myself "how lame" but then sense a twinge of jealousy in the back of my throat...
i knew i wanted something beautiful & something debatably untangible...
i wanted what love stories are made of...
was it really impossible?
as marisa tomei said in "only you": someone had to have experienced those memories or felt those emotions to be able to have written such a love story
& though my past experiences are weights on my balloons of optimism...i have hope
