Knowing.

"Do my intentions not count?" he asked her with a lot of zest. "Sure they count, just not as much as you think they do" is what she replied him with, with a very calm demeanour. 

He just couldn't get a break. He thought he did well. But apparently not and she wouldn't tell him where he went wrong. She wants him to figure it out himself and he doesn't have a clue as to where to begin because in his mind, he believes he did well and he's convicted in his beliefs too. The only obvious fact about the situation is that it isn't too good. There is a gap between them that hasn't been connected with a bridge. And that gap is widening too because they aren't even close to being in sync. It doesn't mean they don't like each other though because they do, an awful lot, in fact they like each other a little too much for their own good. They see ideal people in each other and that makes them nitpick on each other. The highs are too high that makes them want to believe that there can't even be low. They see so much "good" in each other that they just can't accept anything else that they see. The rebellious parts inside of them see what they want to see in the other and not what is actually being shown. And its not necessarily a bad thing. Its just paves the way for a lot of letdowns. And maybe if they give themselves enough time and enough of themselves, they'll finally get to know themselves a teeny tiny bit more of what they think they actually know about each other.

Time will tell though. Peace.
