It's often said that you don't know what
you have until it's gone.

We find as we grow older, but in our
youth, we tend to have a false sense of

permanence about everything and
everyone.

Gabe! I'm home!

Hey. Hi.

How was your day?

Oh, you know.

Another exciting day in the world of law
school.

Lots of Latin.

Fun.

How was yours?

Well, I, uh, I wrote a poem.

Is it about me?

They can't all be about you. I like when
they're about me.

Okay. You caught me. It's about you. I
knew it.

What else happened?

Well, I figured we'd have the night in.

I, uh, got some food for dinner and
picked out a movie.

Aren't you just the sweetest thing?

Sweet and a little too poor to take on a
real date.

You know I don't care about that.

But one day I know your music's going to
pay off.

And if it doesn't, I'll be a big
successful lawyer anyway.

I love you. I love you too.

When you're young and love is new.

It's also easy to think that the passion
is fixed, that it will never wane or

change.

It's difficult to imagine the peaks and
valleys that any romance goes through in

those first weeks, months, sometimes
years if you're lucky.

Imagining heartbreak is nearly
impossible.

It's hard to see anything when you're
blinded by passion.

Sometimes we think passion is enough to
make something last forever.

Unfortunately, it isn't.

Sometimes not even love is.

Separately, they can be intimidating.

Combined, they can be disastrous, unless
you're strong enough to handle them.

Goodbye.

He wasn't.

Neal, door.

Neal.

Babe.

Babe, what's wrong?

A little help here. I mean, it's your
party too.

Okay.

Hey, two lovers.

Hi, Tammy.

You guys are the first ones here.

Thank you so much for coming.

We wouldn't miss it for the world.

Well, come on in, guys. We just grabbed
some drinks over there. We just finished

setting everything up. Sounds good.

What?

We've just finished setting everything
up.

Babe, I'm sorry.

I appreciate everything you've done for
this.

I know I've been a pain.

But,

you know, I've been so busy with... With
the Wilson case, I know.

Look, don't worry.

You're going to have your own high
-profile case in no time, and you'll be

driving me crazy.

Okay?

Okay.

Now, come on. We have to go be the
guests of honor at our engagement party.

Hello darling.

How are you?

Okay.

Miss you.

I know.

I'm sorry, babe.

There's just a really big breakthrough
with the case today, and Cheryl's

me in.

I figured.

The case.

I understand.

You're upset.

I'm sorry.

I mean, if you want, I'll tell Cheryl
that we'll just have to talk about this

back at the office.

No, really.

It's okay.

It's important.

I understand.

Thank you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I can't believe you.

I can't believe you invited Ryan.

What? Why not?

Because you know how he makes me feel. I
get all tongue -tied and my stomach

starts to turn.

And then I have a tendency to drop
things.

As if anyone could make you tongue
-tied, please.

Have you thought about telling him how
you feel?

No, absolutely not.

Well, that might be step one.

to curing your flipped stomach.

How'd you come to be so smart?

And who the hell is that, by the way,
with your fiancé?

That's Cheryl.

He's paralegal.

Oh, my God. Did that guy ever stop
working?

Oh, my God. I love this song.

I'll be right back. And tell that guy of
yours to pay you a little bit more

attention.

I wish I knew how.

You wanna throw that? I do.

You do?

I do.

Good?

Very good.

And the luckiest man in the world.

You're so sweet.

Tell me.

I'm not being sweet.

I'm serious.

I don't know what I did to deserve you.

You're just you.

That's all you ever need to be for me.

But look around here, baby.

Look how beautiful is this.

Star contrast to our apartment.

Yeah.

Look at Carrie.

And then look at Neil.

She can't stop working for a second.

I don't even care if we have all this
stuff. It doesn't matter because I have

you. And I know that we'll always be
personally to each other's hearts and

that's all that matters.

That's why I love you so much.

I love you so much. Oh, baby, I love you
too.

Mom, maybe this isn't the best time,
though.

I can't help it.

I need you right now like I never needed
anyone before.

Okay.

How about your own thing?

Own thing?

Don't let me go.

Never.

When the passion seemingly left your
life,

When you recognize it in others, it
seems like a force of nature.

It's easy to get swept up in it with
them.

Bye.

Where should I go?

Oh no.

and really cool.

No, no, no.

Here we go.

Oh God.

I fucking can't make it

I can't breathe.

Thank you.

Thank you.

To the right, want to go, but you're
losing my attention.

When you stop, when you think of the
things you never mentioned.

Summer flowers, when you run, don't want
to feel alone.

What? What broke?

Um, my champagne glass slipped.

Who's this?

This is Gabe, an old friend.

Gabe, this is my fiance, Neil.

Nice to meet you, Gabe. Nice to meet
you.

You've known Carrie for a while. You're
not surprised that she's a little bit of

a butterfinger.

So why don't you guys go ahead and join
the party and I'll clean this up.

Okay.

Wait, are you okay?

Yeah, everything's fine, babe.

We'll join the party in a minute.

What the hell are you doing here?

Carrie, wait.

Calm down.

I will not calm down.

You won't.

out of my life five years ago.

Not much of a word, a note, not even a
trail of breadcrumbs.

And then you show up here on my doorstep
at my engagement party?

How dare you?

How did you even find me?

I took a wild guess that the law firm
that included your last name might be

yours.

So I checked it out.

That girl Cheryl that works at the
front, she's very easily persuaded in

out people's personal information.

You might want to talk to her about that
if I were you.

You just left.

I woke up one morning and you were gone.

Poof.

Now I managed to finish out the rest of
the semester.

I don't really know how I was...

In a daze most of the time.

What did I do?

Why did you leave, Gabe?

Why would you leave me when I loved you
so much?

Jesus, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry, could it ever be enough?

It can't.

And I never expected it to be.

I was young and I was scared.

You were poised for greatness.

Look at what you've accomplished in such
a short period of time.

I was just afraid that I would get in
the way or... Or that I'd do better than

you.

I finally came to.

But you're afraid my success would
eclipse yours.

You know what?

You're right.

I was afraid of that every minute of
every day.

You were and still are the smartest
woman that I've ever known.

You're going to law school.

You had your whole future planned out in
front of you, and it glittered.

I had no place there.

I was just a musician, for Christ's
sake.

What could I have ever given you?

Something that was in short supply at
that time in my life.

I counted on yours.

I like that we were different.

I know.

I just want you to know that there was
never one minute that I stopped loving

you.

What is this?

The CD. It's for you.

Not just the CD, but the whole album.

Every song is about you.

Every song always was.

Don't do this.

Not now.

Gabe, I've always held a special place
in my heart for you.

But I'm marrying you.

She's wrong for you, and you know it.

You gave up the right to say what was
wrong or right for me years ago.

At least he's there when I wake up in
the morning.

It's not the mornings that I'm worried
about.

Once the seat of doubt has been placed,
it's hard not to let it flourish.

No matter how hard we try, our
imaginations have a way of getting the

us.

And in our imagination, things are
always more intense than they are in our

-to -day life.

No one daydreams about the mundane.

And sometimes, we let this doubt get the
better of us.

And sometimes, passion sits just below
the surface between two people, and it

takes someone else to bring it out.

But then again, sometimes a jealous
daydream is just a jealous

daydream.

Hey, how are you?

Beautiful bride to be.

So good to see you.

You don't know how good.

Everything okay?

Yeah, they will be. No use dwelling, not
when my favorite guy is here.

Besides Neil. Her favorite guy besides
Neil.

I don't want anyone getting the wrong
idea.

It's okay.

I'm pretty sure everyone here knows our
miserable little history.

You know, I think you're the first girl
that ever dumped me and said we should

just be friends who actually meant it.

I told you it'd be better this way.

And you were right.

Man, were you artistic in the mud today.

I was not.

I was the perfect lady.

My point is that.

So,

uh, where's Marty tonight?

I saw her around here earlier.

Um...

No, you know Marty. She's bouncing
around here somewhere, making friends

everyone and everything.

She's fun, isn't she?

Mm -hmm.

I've missed seeing her.

Of course she's fun. That's why she's my
best friend.

Balances out my stick -in -the -mudness.

No.

No way!

What? You have a thing for Marty.

I do not.

Yeah. You do?

Maybe just a little bit.

That's amazing.

I'm completely floored.

All right, that may be a little much. I
know you're shocked, but she's a very

attractive woman.

I don't see why you're so... No, no, not
because of that.

Because Marty's held a torch for you
ever since the two of you met.

She has?

Absolutely.

How come you never told me?

She was my best friend.

And that kind of sacred information is
more valuable than attorney -client

privilege.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe how much time her and I
have wasted.

Well, don't waste any more talking to
me. Go and get her.

That may be the smartest thing you've
ever said.

Hey. Oh, Brian. You startled me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.

Can I make it up to you?

For me?

Of course.

Thank you.

It's a nice day out, huh?

Remember when we first met?

What?

You were at Carrie's, and I was coming
over to study.

I walked in, and there you were.

You were sitting.

Just sitting there.

I've never seen someone sit with so much
excitement.

It was incredible.

I remember that day.

I even remember what you were wearing.

That many colors on anyone else would
have seemed ridiculous.

Yeah.

On you, it was so natural.

I'd pass through life every day seeing
people trying so hard to be unique.

And you, Marty, you're the only person
I'd seen that actually was unique.

You were so straight -laced and serious.

But when we talked, like, we were
finishing each other's sentences.

In no time. That was a long time ago.

It's hard to believe it's already been
five years.

It's hard to believe Carrie's getting
married.

Who would have thought?

Bookworm Carrie.

She went through a lot when Gabe left.

Well, you know.

I do.

You and I were the ones that helped her
through that.

Yeah, we sure were.

That's when I knew I loved you, Marty.

With all your colors and laughter.

Frivolity. We're masking something so
much deeper.

Your dedication to your friend, it was
unwavering.

I'd never seen anything like that.

Wait, what'd you say? When you what?

When I loved you.

It's when I knew I loved you.

What? I'm confused.

Look, Carrie told me.

She told me you had feelings for me ever
since that first day. She did?

Why would she do that? She figured me
out.

She was able to see how much I cared for
you.

That's the only reason she told me.
Believe me.

Marty, are you okay?

Look, maybe I did this all wrong.

Maybe I should have found a different
way to tell you instead of just bringing

it on you like this.

thank you thank you for what for for
being smart enough to look past all this

and see what's really in here

Okay.
