threshold

meeting the parents... i had myself convinced that it was a big step. "it's only as big a deal as you make it to be." truer words were never spoken. it's big. not because i'm ashamed of them, or nervous they'll embarrass me - whip out those incriminating childhood photos (thank God hardly any exist to my knowledge). they're not that kind of parents. stories and tales of misbehavior, curiousity, mischief and danger - more than likely. we have some of the best stories...
no...because we're a big deal. this is serious... i actually see this going somewhere. continuing into something. they're opinion is like gold to me. i'm dying to show you off. to show them the reason for this impossible smile, this infinite contentment, this impassable excitement.

i can't wait...because you're perfect.
