Sometimes I feel like I’m in love with someone who I’ve never met, who I will meet in the future. Am I delusional? Is this a thing? Sometimes when a love song comes on, I’m overcome with emotion, but it’s not really linked to anyone I’ve known. It feels more like it’s someone I will know. Or: it’s possible that I’m in love with an imaginary person, apparently covered in sand, staring pensively through barbed wire, and probably gay, who acts in sweet lyrics, who is stoic, kind, at once open and closed, can cook and sing, who does not quite and never will exist. Future man person, whoever you are or are not, I DON’T CARE, MY RENTAL CAR HAS A SWEET SOUND SYSTEM, AND I WILL CAR SING TO YOU TIL THE COWS COME HOME, when you bring them home, like on your horse.
