when we go through hard things together
when we both shared first time experiences with each other.
When I see the small things he does for me, the little things he gives up, the details he thinks of. And the times when I sit down to scheme and do the same for him.
When we open up to one another and have deep, intellectual conversations. When she allows me to know her fears and dreams. When she asks me if I'm okay or how I feel when she senses I'm worried/upset (or even if I'm just fine!). When she talks with me about the future we're going to share.
When discussing our future together.. also when it's just us and we're discussing things outside of people, places, or events. Hard topics.
While watching American Dad. Because I know he hates it :)
Closest I have felt is when I finally opened up and she didn't judge me she tried to understand me and then gave me look that I cherish where I know that I am her man and she adores me.
Obviously when I was pregnant. Other than that, camping in the mountains for a month.
This weekend, after a rough start where I managed to hurt you once again, we were able to rebound and have a great time at our concert and at the fair. You let me know that you loved me when you gave me a couple of small back and shoulder rubs as we walked around all the festivities Monday. That meant the world to me and made me feel very close to you. I may be wrong, but I think it was your way of telling me you were OK with me.
When he stares at me
I don't mean to stare. You just capture my gaze and I have trouble looking away.

When he opens up and speaks to me with honesty
Right now, on the verge of our wedding!
When she shows me how much she cares for me by talking to me, caring for me, and opening up my heart to trust her more and more, to where I feel now... That I don't want to let go of it at all.
She is pretty distant but before we started dating her grandfather died and she opened up to me more then than she has ever since.
I also feel that you have never really let me in and never tell me everything. You are always holding something back and I can feel it.

The closest I've felt was right before we started dating, and then right after my parents separated.
