because even though i have n't seen you in almost a year , and even though the last time we were in a room together was one of the most awkward mornings of my life , now that we 're talking again , it feels like we should be talking , it feels like this should be part of something , and maybe it 's because claire is always telling me how wonderful you are , and maybe it 's because that shirt does something to your eyes , and maybe it 's because when you have a boyfriend , it releases these strange pheromones that unwittingly attract foolish boys like myself .
