She walked into the kitchen wearing flannel PJ's
We need to talk
About what?
She cracked two eggs in the frying pan
If you want to stop sleeping on the couch and snuggle in
next to me at night
Then we need to talk.
Okay, what's on your mind exactly,
A question mark in my voice
She said I think it's important that we're friends first
I agree, we've known each other for a long time
Since we were kids
I feel like I can depend on you
Thanks, I try. I thought of those hinges still needed oil
I feel safe with you when you're around.
I don't like it when your gone
I miss you too, more than you know
Are you in love?
Now a question mark in her voice
I'm physically attracted to you
That's not love, Johnny
Are you in love with me, Gina?
I feel like a middle-aged couple
Who can finish each other's sentences
I'm just really comfortable
With me?
Yeah.
With us.
I would like us to be us.
Like a couple
I feel like we already are
Where's that over-the-moon feeling then?
What is your major feeling?
Gina said, I'm just really comfortable
Safe
That's a good thing, right?
After Lucky and Martin, it's a very good thing
Two unstable souls.
Lucky had an uncontrollable gambling habit
I never knew how much money we were going to have
Week to week
Sometimes bills went unpaid
Martin was violent. I loved him and was afraid all at once
I just need to feel safe.
You need to feel safe before you can feel love
Do you think you can be patient with me?
I ain't going nowhere, Gina.
