david has this group of friends from college that rent a house in baltimore together. last summer, before i even knew there was a david, justin and i drove down for the night. he knew these guys, and he knew me, and so i got invited to meet john, kyle, chris, paul...what cool guys, i thought. now, a little more than a year later, that house is one of my favorite places, and those guys are my friends, and one of them is my boyfriend. how casually i cruised through that new environment; how strange that now it's a place i sort-of belong. i wonder, if i went back to that first night, if there was some spark of connection i could have caught had i been looking for it.
