Trust me, I remember.. But unfortunately bad guys don't stop just because you're over-cautious about jumping on moving things. I guess it's not a movie if I'm not jumping out of or onto something.
What? I don't.. Look, that's not it. It's not about just you and me. I don't know if my head's at where it is in that movie yet but I think I understand. I've been over the moon about you since we were kids, Buck, but neither of us did anything about it and that's just one of many mistakes I've made. I waited too long with Peggy too and when it was all said and done I lost you both. Maybe I just finally figured out that if I'm not supposed to get the whole nine yards that doesn't mean I shouldn't fight so that everyone else can have it. Someone needs to do it, to step up, don't they? I don't know. I won't pretend I haven't felt that way before.
You didn't make things weird but you did say you wanted to move on. You said you were going to start dating again, remember? That's one of the reasons I was trying to give you space. My big dumb face isn't going to help with the pining.
I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think I'm there yet but maybe I'm not wrong. I've been stuck here a while and I'm still trying to figure out how I fit in. Teaching is alright but I'm restless, I guess. This place doesn't need a Captain America, maybe that's why?
You remember that part in the ballroom.. when everyone was gone? Sometimes I feel like that all the time, I don't need help seeing it. Even when people are around. If I just don't get too close, if I just have friends and teammates. Maybe it won't hurt as much when they're gone. Because it hurts, Buck. It hurts like hell sometimes.
