  • sunrise, sunset. like a bright eyes song that hasn't left my mind since middle school. you smoke a cigarette on the back porch, i stare at the sun.

    we rode our bikes to the end of the island and jumped the "no trespassing" sign into the dunes to drink our beers. i laughed because there were only two birds on Bird Island.

    the sun was high and so were we. we kissed in the ocean. i got nervous about what the water held and let the waves crash over me to separate us.

    i could've stayed longer. i miss the house, i miss the town, i miss the beach. i miss your stories and your laugh but i don't miss your kisses, the hesitant intimacy.

    i keep wondering how i can love someone, but never unconditionally.
