the city of falls church has several small, yet amazing parks, just waiting for a spur of the moment game of dodge ball, or just a passer by's gentle footprints on its cool green grass. sometimes i'll find a new one, or just rediscover an already uncovered park, and i'll start to wish i had someone to explore them with. i remember when i had people surrounding me who i could place my trust in completely, and they actually liked that my pants had a big stains on them from kneeling in my back yard planting flowers, or that my hands smelled like the bicycle grease that they were previously soaked in. i remember when i would drive into the mountains and empty my heart of every imaginable worry, and i felt like she actually was listening and did indeed care. i remember when my opinion mattered and sometimes i felt very insightful, and sometimes i felt quite naiive and ignorant (not in a negative way though), but for the most part we began we questioned, we learned, we understood, the world, together. but nothing really ever stays the same, i guess. i just wish i had someone with me now to explore the sunsets, and to stay up till the sun was not only rising, but almost completely risen above our heads before we went to bed. or we could just sit all these parks together. i miss my home a lot. and i know by the time i get there, it'll be gone.
