The River

"So why do we always go to the river at odd hours in the night?"
"Because."
"...what?"
"Because its the river, and the river is awesome."
"Heh. ok"
"Walking by the river makes me forget about everything else for a while, you know, I can just kick back and not think about anything."
"That makes sense."
"The city skyline is pretty at night"
"Yeah, especially with the full moon"

"What do you mean?"
"You know, like, after all of this is over"
I wish it never is

"Probably go to grad school"
"Why?"
"I never want to stop learning"
"But you learn in the real world, too."
"Thats true, but not like you can learn here. There's so much to learn, I feel as though I have to make the most of every single moment that I have here"

"I like how we can just come out here and talk about anything"
"Me too. (glances at watch) oh wow its 4:30 already"
