as soon as i saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen.

E. E. Cummings

my thoughts seem to linger on these three small memories lately.

1. my first attempt at learning to ride a bike on the grass with my dad when i was 9
2. summer 2007 at my cousins country house. we camped outside and watched the stars dance
3. this small bridge in my city's park where there's a little ledge underneath where you can sit and dangle your feet above the ducklings, and watch the geese that swim by. for whenever I drive past this bridge, I think of summer 2011. When J and I would sit there, under that bridge, after our long walks through the park. We exchange thoughts, laughs and sit next to each other. This memory of J is probably one of my most favorite moments with him. Its because I always see it on my way to church every Sunday. For whenever I drive past it. it brings a smile to my face. I'd have to say that, that summer was my favorite summer to date.

i like to walk with you up there on that hill
we'll watch the mail man walk through the village trails
we'll whisper secrets and dance like wildflowers kissing the wind
and my, my, my darling, we're so confused
cause we're changing, down this road, down this crazy avenue 
i draw a line from A to B and what happens is in between 
cause its an open mystery, as far as i can see
for someone like you who wants to live alone 
you gave me your only coat
and i'll wear its hood and tug on its threads
cause its smell is a memory 
that i can't seem to get rid of 
quiet yet
