and closer

listening to: Every Time I Die - The New Black

something i thought of the other day: I'm learning to appreciate being outside more.
quite suddenly i find myself thinking that i would love to just go out and throw a frisbee around with some one. i'd love to kick a soccer ball around. rollerblade, ride bikes, just be outside hanging out with a friend (or two or three or more). and thankfully, i have been playing outside more. it reminds me of the days of knocking on the door and asking, "can _____ come out and play?" the days.

i stood and faced him.
"i know, i know all of this" i said.

"of course you do" he said in response.
"i couldn't tell you anything you didn't know yourself.
i am just a reflection of you after all."

"then what is the point
of you even being here?" i asked.

he replied,
"you and i both know
that you need to hear it from some one else
for it to get through your head."
