Our Things.
When you share a life with someone - a friend/sibling/lover/ex-lover - your relationship encompasses not only your feelings towards each other but also the exchange of interests, obsessions, dislikes, and curiosities. Their musicals become your musicals, their favorite dessert - yours, and song lyrics are eventually reminisced with the familiarity of lifelong companions who've never not known each other. And when opposing tastes are exchanged with uneasy apprehension, even those moments can be traced back to their nostalgic origin - on the street corner where you realized tofu cream cheese pales in comparison, at the concert in Central Park during which you cringed at the cacophonous musicians, in the local bookstore after The Cherry Orchard when you swore off Russian literature forever - when those things, too, became yours. Enjoy!
women are definitely asking this guy out for coffee.
