Sadie, white coat.

When i search through the catalogue of my memories I feel incredibly amazingly happy to have them filled with a full summer's worth of time spent with Jon. No stolen moments of the unabashed kissing in cafe's of New York, no brief weekends amidst piles of schoolwork, just 2 months of getting to hang out with him. Last night he asked me what my favorite moments of the summer were and surprisingly I couldn't name any. As I was scanning through my head, I could only point mundane moments really.
Nights spent huddled over our little stove burner waiting for water to boil, or for the rice to get done, Saturday mornings spent drinking tea and watching him play Final fantasy tactics and bike rides back to work and reality on weekday mornings.
Yesterday was our last bike ride together. Once more through the streets of Greer we began our noble quest. We took "our route" through Loma Verde and Bryant because the lights always switch for bikers through Oregon and then Embarcadero. Once again through the beautiful suburban houses of the successful Palo Altans, while I look at Jon work out his preference of running over the speed bumps in the road "look Jai I'm getting all 30 of them" he'd say, I realized I would miss this terribly.

And all that I've got
and all that I need
I tie in a knot
that I lay at your feet.
