Analysis of How I View Your Mind.
s.riley 2003 (Illinois)
I view your mind as something different every time.
As you said. Your mind is full of surprises. And you never fail to surprise me with what you say.
Sometimes I see it as a 1850's coffee shop, where we both sit and pass letters containing our thoughts on small pieces of parchment. It rains and we enjoy our coffee, enjoy our company and I watch, as you trace your finger along the window, racing a raindrop down the cold glass.
Sometimes I view your mind as a park, we sit under a tree, with a city behind us, the stars above us and a world of possibilities hanging below our feet.
Other times I see it as a house with rooms with post it notes plastered all over the walls, we walk in circles and evetime we say a word with some significant meaning, another post it note is added, right in front of our eyes. It's different every time. And my favorite post it note has the word "you" on it.
