S U M M E R

My mind is taunted by the thought of this summer. Oh my this summer. To be working and running around the mountains and the city. My mind is taunted by the thought of Ryan's farewell. It's taunted by the thought of how I am possibly going to fill in all of the space between us with a pen and paper. It is taunted by snowboarding, by climbing, by running, by health. It is taunted by this French thing. My mind is taunted by location. Location location location. It is taunted by my goals and the steps I take daily to reach them. My mind is taunted by a need for a live band playing so loudly I cannot hear my own thoughts. It is taunted by Ryan's return....in two years. Two years of distance. Two years of growing. My mind is taunted by these exact things every morning I wake up until I am asleep again.
