there's a freeway runnin' through the yard

things i love about my life at the moment:

peals of laughter punctuate sentences instead of commas. staying up too late and getting up too early. levels of comfort where our clothes end up in each others' closets without any of us knowing how they got there. literal crying shoulders when you're sad and reality checks when you need them. honesty. love. the family you choose.

tangled up on the grass with only the sky to watch us. taste tangy like sweet and sour candy. point out shapes in the clouds as they shift and change and we laugh and it's just like counting the speckles in the ceiling, except bigger and better and brighter and the stars shine through and i'm free fallin', free fallin'.

summer rainstorms and the five o' clock sun spilling through the window. forgetting how much this is home until i'm back. dancing by myself in the moonlight in the middle of the night. cannonballing in the pool and then making dinner: being both too young and too old. maybe i'll come back here for good someday. just maybe.
