two lovers, who've had a falling out. and the narrator is waiting for the fight to blow over so they can see each other again. I get the impression this is not an entirely uncommon occurrence, that maybe they've gotten in fights like this before, and they separate for a while, but always come back because underneath it all they're so perfect for each other it's like they already lived a whole life as a couple, and have already died of old age sitting in rocking chairs together. they're like ships in a bottle, they can never get very far away from each other.
