bright eyes - june on the west coast

ryan came over tonight. we walked along the road, both of us in sandals, eating ice cream in the rain. we talked about becoming statistics, being members of the consumer society. we imagined ryan's kids and the way he'll spend his son's college money on a car. he told me what i should do with my life, and eerily enough it was exactly what i've been planning to do.
i love ryan. truly. i have history with him. we can reminisce about the olden days. don't get me wrong, i love everyone in my life now. but ryan's been there through it all. he already knows the old stories and the old people and the reasons why i am who i am. it's amazing to be in the presence of someone like that, and still be able to find new things to talk about.
